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.

“Wanted to leave flowers for a loved one. I did not know where to began looking for the site no other than the detail direction the lady I talked to over the telephone weeks earlier gave me. Mrs. Sarah Denny drove her vehicle and took me to the resting site. Together we found my love one without any problems. After seeing the size of the area and the many roads that either lead you in or out I felt helpless. I did not know they would be so willing to make sure that I located my love one. Mrs. Sarah was patience, very friendly and professional. With deep appreciation and love, The Allen, Powell family”

“I called to get assistance on locating my uncle. I spoke with 3 different people stating someone will contact me. I waited over an hour without any assistance. I end up leaving without visiting my uncle after making a long drive just to visit. It took me years just to get up enough strength to come and visit. UPDATE, I was contacted and was given information that was need. The gentleman not only gave me plot location but sent me a text of map.”
