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.

“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Parandis Banifatemi at Oakmont Memorial Park for the beautiful and compassionate way she led my mother’s graveside service. During a season of deep grief, Parandis carried herself with such grace, gentleness, and reverence. She understood that this was not just a ceremony, but a sacred moment — a time to honor a life and entrust a loved one into God’s eternal care. Her calm presence helped create an atmosphere of peace, dignity, and spiritual reflection. She handled every detail with professionalism while still allowing space for prayer, remembrance, and the hope we have in our faith. It was evident that she truly respected the significance of the moment for our family. We are deeply thankful for her kindness and for the way she helped us honor my mother with both dignity and faith”

“From the moment I first spoke with Belen Alvarez, she has been incredibly helpful and supportive during this difficult time. She returned phone calls and texts promptly and guided my sons and I through the whole process like we were her family. The way she handled the service was so personal and caring. She offered us many options to find the perfect place to rest our beloved family member. She took care of the permit and came by our house to pick up the ashes. The day of service, she was so professional and yet personal. I will always be grateful. She does everything from her heart. We are so blessed to know her and have her being part of this journey.”
