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.

“Family owned Stockton Funeral Home did an amazing job with my Father’s funeral; from beginning to end. They are not only very professional but also very compassionate. I don’t know if they truly realize how much of an impact they leave on the family that is left mourning the loss of their loved one. They make you feel like family. I will always refer their kindness and services to anyone who is in need of a funeral home. Thank you for all you do. You all are amazing! If I could give more than five stars, I definitely would. 🙏🏼”

“Jose and Julio just came today to pick up my dad after he passed. Of course it is a Sunday, when many people would rather enjoy their break from work; yes, it's a 24 hour service, but people are people, and sometimes Sunday is their (mentally) off day. Yet they were gentle, compassionate, and understanding. My folks' entryway was also too narrow for the gourney, so they used a rescue board to carry my dad. They still maintained the same level of respect and dignity in the moment as they carried him out, and I really appreciated how well they handled everything. Thank you Family Owned Stockton Funeral Home.”

“Jose and Julio were very compassionate and sensitive to our family member who passed today in Sonora CA. They came over an hour distance and I was fairly stoic until seeing his body being loaded into the van, and then it hit me that I was never going to see Donald again and I wept. Thank you for having such nice people who are sensitive and caring. God Bless You”
