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.

“My husband and I lost are daughter around 20 weeks gestation. When we chose Flanner for handling remains, we were assigned to Manny and from start to finish he handled everything with such gentle care and compassion. We opted for cremation so we could bring our baby home to us. We were originally quoted around a week for return of ashes but Manny worked hard to get her back to us early so we could have her home before the new year. He brought a calm and empathetic energy that was so appreciated in the worst days of our lives. He explained everything in a clear way that didn’t feel overwhelming but also wasn’t cold and clinical feeling either. Our heartfelt thank you to Manny for making one of the hardest things we’ve ever done a little easier.”

“I have had the worst experience with the burial of my husband at Flanner Buchanan-Washington North in my life..my husband has only been buried there for a year. Every time I go I can barely find him cause the headstone is covered in mud.. The headstone was not position correctly is so far down in the ground you can barely read the last sentence on it...nobody returns your calls its been nothing but a nightmare and heartache.. I was told his final resting place would be Meadows of Glen Haven..but it says Block 14... Omg it's unbelievable below are photos of how the headstone looks every time I go...no matter what the weather UNACCEPTABLE...”

“The team at Flanner Buchanan went above and beyond in making the visitation, memorial service and burial absolutely perfect for the passing of my mother. They truly captured her values, interests and character in the service and handled everything with the utmost respect and care. I could not have asked for a more perfect service. I highly recommend Flanner Buchanan as the best option in Indianapolis.”
