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
“My twins we born at 28 weeks and tragically my daughter was born asleep. It was a rough start to this process with mix ups with another funeral home. I called foot hill funeral and rocky was there for the entire process from picking up my daughter from the other mortuary to setting up everything for her cremation. I believe people have certain callings in life and rocky was where I needed him to be at this time in my life. Thank you to everyone who was involved with my daughter Darlene ❤️ from the bottom of my heart.”
— Lorette Murillo
“I'm an independent Embalmer and work for various Funeral Homes. When it was time to call upon a Mortuary to conduct the services for my Father I immediately knew I was going to use Foothill Funeral and Cremation. The whole staff is kind and compassionate and they did a great job. They were understanding with my specific needs and I've recommended them to family members in the past.”
— Fernando Centeno
