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.

“In an unexplainable time of grief and confusion we were given an absolute gift by working with Angela. She answered every question, was beyond professional, and gave us a piece of serenity when we didn't know where else to look. Angela guided us through the most difficult times with a sense of professionalism, information, and follow-thru. My girlfriend and I have said on more than one occasion how lucky we are to have been gifted Angela in a time where nothing had light. So, thank you for that!”

“My part of this process was online because we are at a distance from the deceased. All went well with that other than a couple of kinks with the final draft of the death certificate. Amanda was very helpful in moving through the online documents. The deceased's close friend picked up the ashes this past Friday. Though the process went efficiently, she said the interior of the area was a bit troubling, the small area, rather dark, no human in sight, the need to push a button - too small an area, rather intimidating given the unusual circumstances of needing to be there. Nothing consoling in terms of that environment, though the person administering the release of the ashes was pleasant and efficient.”
