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.

“I ordered flowers from this shop through DoorDash for my dear friend’s birthday, hoping to receive something similar to the bouquet pictured on their own storefront. I understand that flowers can be seasonal and that some variation is expected, but the arrangement that arrived was completely different in both color and overall style. While the flowers themselves were fresh and of good quality, the bouquet did not match what I had envisioned or what was advertised. Unfortunately, this was disappointing for such a special occasion. If the recipe that the florists are following look completely different to what is listed online on their DoorDash storefront, there needs to be updates done.”

“I live in Massachusetts and ordered from here to deliver flowers to my boyfriend on Valentine's Day. The bouquet was exactly as pictured and he liked them a lot! I'm very glad no flower or color choices were swapped out. Communication on the day of delivery was poor, and I didn't know when the flowers would show up. I understand not being able to promise a specific delivery time. It just would've been nice to get a "it's on the way" email/text when it was given to the driver, or delivery confirmation. They were also super affordable! I really appreciate them accepting orders the day before Valentine's, as that's when I got my paycheck. Either way, the next time I send flowers I'm likely to buy from here again.”

“Beautiful bouquet delivery timely, fragrant and looking fresh! When the delivery person noticed the Happy Birthday balloon leaking helium, she went to get a replacement before we had even noticed. Total dedication to make the customer happy, highly recommend!”
