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.
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 thank Garden Oaks Funeral Home for everything they did for our son’s cremation and memorial. They took care of every detail during the worst time of our lives. Clayton and Francisco were so compassionate and kind, and the little touches they added for our son meant more than I can ever say. Their care made a painful process a little easier, and we’re truly grateful.”

“We were not prepared to my mothers passing. We were not even prepare for anything at all regarding her funeral, remains, etc. Claude, William, Melania and other people involved in this process were able to make it very clear and easy to do. We had my mother cremated, we arranged for a Catholic mass, and we have already sent my mother over to Venezuela. This Funeral Home and the people involved, who I mentioned above, made these possible. I really want to thank them from the bottom of our hearts. God bless them all. Rolando Gabarron and family.”

“Dignity Memorial was so helpful during our difficult time of having to lay my mother to rest. They went above and beyond to make it a beautiful remembrance of her. Even the experience of picking up her ashes was made into a special event and I was truly touched by everyone there and by everything they did to ensure that we were at ease!”
— Erick Rodriguez
