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.

“So grateful for all the help Maddie gave us. We never had to worry if things were going to get done as when Maddie says she is going to do something for you it was always done. She did the and then some for us. Being many miles away from Madison it was a little more difficult for us in the decision making but Maddie was there for comfort, support and advice. We so appreciated that. Very professional and ever so caring. Thank you for your kindness Maddie..... Wonderful resting place for Char and Howard”

“My sister and I lost our parents within 4 months of each other. I cannot begin to tell you how comforting it was to have Madeline as our contact at Memory Gardens. From picking out the plot, private burying of the folks and the headstone, we were so comforted by her care and professionalism. We have both chosen our own plots at Memory Gardens as well. Thank you Madeline for your wonderful care during this time. You are a gem ❤️🙏👣”

“Today we met with Ashleigh to confirm our cemetery plots. We were so glad she sat down with us and got us started on burial planning. This was something I've wanted to take care of for sometime but never took the time or didn't know where to start. I didn't want to burden my family with making these decisions when the time comes. Lots of questions were asked and answered for us by Ashleigh. We were able to choose specific items and lock them in at today's prices. Thank you Ashleigh for being so helpful and patient with us. I had peace of mind leaving Sunset Memory Gardens today knowing that it's all taken care of.”
