Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“It is never easy losing a loved one no matter how prepared you are even if the funeral arrangements are already made. It is still difficult because your mind is all over the place but Martinez Funeral Home made us feel at ease and they were all so helpful with all the planning and details. They were so accommodating and they never made you feel like you were bothering them with all these questions. I would highly recommend Martinez Funeral Home if you need comfort and life just to be a little easier especially when going thru a difficult time. If I could give them higher than a 10 I certainly would. Thank You Martinez Funeral Home.”

“You all were God sent. I had previously called another funeral home and for some reason or another things did not work. But when we call you and spoke with Mr Javier Gonzales , he was so understanding and very sympathetic to the situation. He did everything to ease our pain and minds and make this sad situation less stressful. Your staff was great. No regrets and very grateful for the beautiful service.”
