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.

“This is a high-end, upscale establishment that had been operating in Brownsville many years. It has a modern TV screen at the entrance to let you know you have found the right family. It is located on the corner of Palm Blvd. and Monroe St. close to downtown Brownsville and very close to the Mexico Boarder crossing - the locals call “The Oíd Bridge.” Or B&M bridge (which used to be a swing bridge until the 1960’s.”
