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.

“Grave clean up was october 15th. All my Husbands stuff was took off by october 12th half on Oct 5th the rest by the 12th I have time stamped photos that proves this. You can not change a time stamp google photo My husband's lights was all found in an ex employee's yard on Nevada street right off rockingham she still volunteers there. I tried to press theft charges but when officers contacted the manager he stated my husband's grave still had stuff on it on october 14th. That is not true I do have proof. It was all gone october 12th.I will not stop until she is charged. This is very sad and heartless.”

“Just had a Convo with caravel about putting a headstone on my sister grave. He was very attentive and didn’t belittle or talk over me knowing I’m younger. Thank you for your knowledge and thank you for being kind.”

“I noticed all these reviews are at least 3-4 yrs old and it's not fair to the gentlemen that operates Fairmount currently. He works very hard and is very attentive to the needs of the cemetery and the families that are associated with the cemetery and crematorium. So you know his name is Mr. Carvel Morgan and he is also responsible for the welfare of Pine Hill Cemetery operations. I'm VERY SURE if you need him he will be there for you!🙏❤”
