Understanding Funeral Prices at Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapels
Your Consumer Rights and Available Information


Arranging a funeral can be both emotionally challenging and financially burdensome. Many people have little knowledge about the funeral industry, and in such difficult times, they may be vulnerable to being deceived or taken advantage of.

The "Funeral Rule" was established in 1984 to ensure that all funeral homes, including Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapels, provide customers with clear and accurate information about the products and services they offer. This includes providing price details over the phone upon request.

As part of the "Funeral Rule," Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapels is required to offer a General Price List (GPL) to anyone who asks for it. This list includes various expenses related to funeral services, such as transportation to the cemetery in or around Santa Barbara County, as well as costs for viewing or visitation services.
