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.

“First I want people to know The Gathering Place can be used for parties, weddings, reunions, etc. I was there for 2 funeral services. I was extremely impressed and when my mom died in August that’s where I went. This place and the people are unbelievable! They are everything you want at such a hard and painful time. Everything is handled with respect and compassion. They know everything you may need and then some. One of the big things for me was that I could bring in my own food. I don’t know of another place that allows that. I could go on and on about how amazing it is. Just don’t settle on a place, go to the best!”

“I recently used coulee cremation. From the beginning.... They made this heartbreaking situation so much more comfortable. They truly care for the family. They went out of their way to accommodate every wish we had. From setting up for the celebration of life, arranging the flowers, plants, food, etc. I cannot thank them enough for all their kindness and support at this most difficult time. I'd highly recommend them to anyone. You will not be disappointed.”
