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.

“My experience with the Cremation Society of Nevada and the John Sparks Crematory was beyond excellent. Sydney was wonderfully compassionate to our needs, her communication with me was spot on throughout the process, especially since we live out of state, and I feel very blessed to have worked with her. She is the best to work with. The society have continued to be in touch and have sent resources for help to see me through the heartache of my sons passing. They have been a group of amazing and caring people in my at this time of loss and I can not be more thankful and grateful for that. Thank you! Kathy Liska”

“We actually chose John Sparks on the recommendation of another funeral facility. When I called, I spoke with a nice young woman who’s name is Sydney. We set an appointment date, I arrived, and we discussed the details of my husband’s cremation. She was very kind, very thorough, and altogether extremely pleasant to deal with during such a horrible time. With some input from her, I settled on what would work for us, and we discussed the cost arrangement, the time frame, plus a few other details. If You don’t mind the simple, unfancy setting (my husband was a VERY simple guy), lots of doable options, great prices and nice people, this is the location for you.”
