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.

“During a very difficult time for our family, the team at Darling & Fischer provided exceptional care and support from my initial inquiry to visiting their location for a site check. Vanna and Maribel’s professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail made an overwhelming process feel much more manageable. As our loved one’s last wish was to be taken back home overseas, there is an additional layer of work to be done. They were incredibly respectful of our wishes and worked thoughtfully within our budget, offering guidance and options without ever making us feel pressured. Every member of their staff treated our family with kindness and patience, and they handled the arrangements with the utmost dignity. We are truly grateful for their excellent customer service and for helping us honor our loved one in such a meaningful way. I would highly recommend Darling & Fischer to any family in need of compassionate and professional funeral services.”
— Cecille Madriaga
“Vanna Tran's service is superb. She went beyond her duty to help us prepare our father's funeral services. She responded to our phone, text, email inquiries anytime, days or evenings, weekends included. She explained everything in detail to help us make informed decisions. She offered to make a beautiful MP4 slides for us. After the burial service, we came back to the chapel after 5pm and she was still there waiting for us to collect our belongings. Her services and courtesy deserve better than 5 stars. The staff was very helpful and courteous.”
