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.

“There are not enough stars, Krystin is absolutely wonderful! Planning the funeral or cremation of a loved one is never easy but Krystin really does help you in amazing ways. My initial call was just to ask a few questions, she was kind and did not mind my questions, as other places I called couldn't be bothered. She went above and beyond for me and my family. On the actual cremation day Krystin and her assistant were so helpful, they guided me and assisted during the whole process, I understand this is their job but she does it with so much care that you don't see her as a funeral director you see her as a friend. Her effortless kindness shows in everything she does. I can honestly say that as much as I don't ever want to use her again she will definitely be my first call when it's needed. I am eternally grateful for her care, guidance and understanding at the worst time of my life.”

“Unfortunately this was my second time needing funeral services in 5 months. I had such a bad experience with the first funeral home, I refused to use them again. While I was calling around, I was as getting discouraged by home non-personal it was. However the minute I spoke with Krystin at Walter’s Funeral Home I instantly felt relief. She listened to me. She heard me. And most importantly, she made my grandmother feel like a person not just a business transaction. From the first call to the day I picked up my grandmother’s ashes, Krystin had treated me with kindness and compassion. She truly has fulfilled her calling because every call with her eased my heart. I hope I don’t need her services in the future, but if I do, she is exactly the first call I’ll be making.”
