Cabot & Sons Funeral Directors

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
“Losing my father was such a difficult experience. They made every step of the way softer, kinder and less painful. Pricing is reasonable, the chapel is beautiful and we had a wonderful service there. I am so grateful we chose them. I highly recommend.”
— Lissette Perez
“Upon the passing of my wife's mother, choosing Cabot’s proved to be one of the most fortunate decisions we could have made. From the very first contact, the associate who responded, Eddie, treated our family with genuine sensitivity and respect. He took exceptional care in tending to our mother and transporting her with dignity. We were so impressed by his professionalism and kindness that we specifically requested Eddie’s presence and assistance on the day of the funeral. On the day of the service, David & Eddie were once again outstanding- caring, professional, and fully attentive. They ensured that every detail and aspect of the service was first rate and truly fitting for our mother. Throughout the entire process—before, during, and after our mother’s passing—Funeral Director David was consistently anticipatory, patient, and responsive attending to every detail. At no point did we feel pressured, including regarding payment, and we found their costs to be extremely reasonable. We are deeply grateful for the support, compassion, and professionalism shown to our family. We would highly and wholeheartedly recommend Cabot’s to anyone in need of funeral services.”
— AJ Berg
“Cabot and Sons presents the highest level of professionalism. As a professional bagpiper serving Southern California for 50 years, I have seen many places. With that experience of thousands of memorial events, I am pleased to say that Cabot and Sons is the best choice for any funeral needs. Kevin has been working with me for years and when I am invited to be part of a ceremony, I see a that Kevin has planned every detail for the family and helping with their needs during the tough times when there is a funeral. The Pasadena location is very nice and exactly what a funeral home should be. Historical photos nicely displayed on the halls, remind us that Cabot & Sons has been helping with funerals for many generations. It is a pleasure to work with Cabot and Sons and I look forward to many years ahead as being available to bagpipe for any services that may come up. Thanks, Harry Farrar”
