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.

“From beginning to end, Kristie and her staff were so compassionate during our difficult time. Kristie went above and beyond and handled all the details even when we were having a hard time grieving. Communication through the process was reassuring. Last but not least, her staff the day of the service went above and beyond as well. Ray who drove the hearse carrying my dad as he was entering the cemetery, seen me walking towards the burial spot and asked me if I wanted to take the ride to the burial spot, and Ray gave me such a special gift, to ride with my dad one final time. I will forever be grateful! They attended to our every need making us feel so taken care of. We were truly blessed! Thank you!”

“When they came to collect my mother from her home, they were professional, soft spoken and caring. They did it with respect and did a beautiful preparation for the removal. Her hair was combed. They placed a velvet blanket on her, all edges tucked. She was comfortable. She looked like she was in a peaceful sleep. As we walked backed in our home, they left her bed made with a rose in her pillow. So beautiful. So well done. Amazing. I was at peace knowing that they will take care of her. Blessing to them for caring beyond my imagination. Thank you❤️”
