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.

“On April 17, our lives changed forever with the passing of my son. We were distraught and didn't know anything about anything. We reached out to Marisol and from that day, Marisol took the reigns and made everything 100% smooth. Everything was a yes, all of our needs were met and thoughts considered. The ride to the burial site was very therapeutic as opposed to traumatic thanks to Paul and his words. Even after the funeral, not once has calling or walking into Brennan-Mathena has it been a bad experience, to the contrary, it feels like visiting a family member. Brennan-Mathena has been welcoming and a safe spot for me during my hardest time and I will forever be thankful to Marisol and Paul for making such a tragedy a little less hard. From my family to the Brennan-Mathena family, we are forever thankful and to Marisol, thank you so much, you helped us make Oscar proud and helped send him off as he deserved. Thank you, from the bottomof this mom's broken heart.”
