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.

“The staff and entire facility was fabulous especially in a time of need. All our questions were answered about the entire process of cremation including exact estimates. No pressure at all.

“My family and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this location. Eddie and his staff treated us very well and brought a little sunshine to a very dark time for my family and I. Eddie is a kind, compassionate man with a great sense of humor. He has many years in the business and made the whole cremation process seamless and they took very good care of my father. Eddie informed us of all possible hold ups, and informed us what they can do if those hold ups arise. I am a realist and know sometimes things are not within our control. But to be informed of what may happen and how they plan to handle the situation made me feel comfortable with them handling my father’s cremation process. If you are looking for a professional, straightforward company to handle your cremation needs, choose them. Pricing is reasonable and broken down by each item and what you are paying and why. Our experience is a true testament to a can-do attitude and how can I make this family’s grief a little less daunting mentality. Great work Eddie. We appreciate you immensely. Semper Fi.”
