- How do I compare providers in El Cajon?

- How do I compare funeral homes in El Cajon fairly?
- Ask each home for its General Price List — the FTC Funeral Rule requires them to give you one, and to quote prices by phone. Compare the basic services fee and the specific items you want, since that's where prices vary most.
