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.

“Im sorry. I don't have a personal google account. But my name is James Maze and my mother was Laura Groves. Everyone at this facility has been absolutely amazing. They took a hard time for me and made it alot easier. They knew our budget constraints and didnt try to upsell or add. They did what they needed and even though we couldnt afford alot they took such good care of her. They let us see her again and she had makeup on and her hair combed. Most businesses you get what you pay for but here they seem to genuinely care about each and every one that comes through that door. I cant express my gratitude. Thank you so much.”
