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.

“We recently had a passing in our family. We selected Family Memorial Services Mortuary. They were the most economically choice throughout the area. The staff was excellent to work with, they were passionate to the best of all, they showed empathy and compassion when we needed it the most. The services went without any issues nor concerns. Thank you Family Memorial Services Mortuary for a job well done.”
— Jose Romero
“I was very impressed with the staff at Family Memorial Services when my husband passed away, especially Lluvia Alva, the counselor who helped make this process so easy. My husband was a veteran and from the moment his body was picked up at the hospital, the caring assistants from the mortuary draped his body with the American flag to the moment I walked into the mortuary and was helped by Lluvia. She helped arrange for the honor guard at his celebration of life, she helped me choose the Bakersfield National Cemetery where he was put to rest with respect and with honors. Any experience at any mortuary is not expected to be a pleasant one, but Lluvia at Family Memorial Services made this experience a memorable one. Thank you for your help, thank you to the entire staff.”
