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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the Cremation Society of New Jersey for the compassionate and professional care they provided during one of the most difficult times for my family. From the first phone call, their staff treated us with kindness, respect, and patience. They guided us through the entire process with clarity and understanding, making sure we never felt overwhelmed or alone. My father’s wishes were honored with dignity, and we truly felt that he was in good hands. Every detail was handled thoughtfully and efficiently, allowing us to focus on remembering and celebrating his life. I’m so thankful for the support we received and would wholeheartedly recommend the Cremation Society of New Jersey to anyone seeking a caring and trustworthy service during such a sensitive time.”
