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
“A beautiful place where one can spend some quiet time or prayer time. As you walk through various pathways you are able to visit several shrines dedicated to different countries. When I was young I remember visiting with my parents during Easter time. Just recently we enshrine the Lady of Divine Providence who is the Patron mother of Puerto Rico. The Bishop from Puerto Rico visited for the enshrinement.”
— Andres Ayala
“Such a BEAUTIFUL place. Well kept Nostalgic for me. Loved coming here back in the 80s. Just a peaceful place”
— Shelene Moffett
“Beautiful and peaceful place to go, we went on a Sunday but it's winter and had been raining so it was nobody in there, looking forward to go back during spring or summer.”
— Judith Perez (Judy P.)
