- Do I have to use a funeral home in South Pasadena?
- No. In California you can compare and choose any licensed provider, and you only pay for the goods and services you select. You're never required to buy a package.
- What's included in the price?

- What happens to my money if the funeral home closes?

- Are prepaid funeral prices guaranteed?
- Some plans guarantee the price of the services you select, so your family pays nothing more for them later. Others only set money aside and aren't price-locked. Read the contract to see which type you have.
