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.

“It took me almost a year to write this review. I am still in shock due to the lack of empathy from the staff here. It is unbelievable how people could be in this line of business, and still treat people unprofessionally, as if their loss wasn’t painful enough. My father passed away in February of 2025. Unfortunately, this was the most reasonable place we were able to find for our budget. I still feel guilty for leaving my father in the hands of these people, because if they treated myself and my family poorly, I cannot imagine the care that they provided for my father. The woman in the front desk, is unbelievably rude and unprofessional. I could sit here and tell the story of my and my families experience with this place but, I don’t have that kind of time. I hope that all the bad reviews this place has earned, opens them up to a learning experience and they are able provide a more friendly, professional , and empathetic service, to the families of their decedents. Losing someone is hard enough, they don’t need the employees from this place making this a more traumatic experience. Please people, do your research, read the reviews, and trust them. I am guilty of this myself. Otherwise, we would have never trusted leaving my father at the hands of these people.”

“David Estephan from Cedar Hill Mortuary provided outstanding and professional service to my family and me. During a time of grief and mourning for a loved one, David was direct, kind, and accommodating to our needs. He promptly answered my phone calls, explained the protocol, and was timely. Cedar Hill Mortuary was very helpful, and I am incredibly thankful for their support.”

“I do not recommend Cedar Hill. I wasn't price shopping at all and chose them based on a recommendation from the hospital. They promised a timely cremation and it took three times as long (at least) as they promised. They do not return phone calls as promised and have no answering machine taking messages. It's extremely frustrating and heart-wrenching because this is happening with your loved one's body. I don't know how they stay in business with this kind of customer service.”
