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
“If there were a way to give more than five stars, High Desert Funeral Chapel & Cremation would deserve every single one. Renee was absolutely exceptional. During one of the hardest and heaviest moments our family has ever faced, she met us with genuine compassion, grace, and care. She was authentic, kind, and present never rushed, never impersonal and she guided us step by step with a calm confidence that immediately put us at ease.She somehow made an overwhelming process feel lighter and manageable, without ever minimizing our loss. The pricing was more than fair, especially considering the level of service we received truly unmatched. Our service exceeded expectations. Even with an overflowing attendance, everything felt intimate, seamless, and beautifully handled. We were able to have our church choir perform with live instruments and a five-person ensemble, and Renee made sure every detail was accommodated with excellence.From beginning to end, this was a top-notch experience as meaningful and comforting as a farewell can be. If there is ever a “best possible experience” in a time like this, this is it. We are deeply grateful.”

“We were looking for a place to hold a viewing for my aunt who had passed away. We required her to be blessed urgently on a short notice basis. Rene Marsh was extremely helpful as she was able to provide everything we had asked for within a quick turnaround time. She is very diligent with her paper work and needed to rectify another crematories paper work. She was very informative and was able to deliver everything we had requested. Thank you Renee for allowing my aunt to be blessed on a short notice. I appreciate all of your hard work. You're amazing!!”
