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 want to express my sincere gratitude to Groover Funeral Home at Mansion Memorial Park for the compassionate, professional, and dignified care they provided during my mother’s burial arrangements. During an incredibly difficult time, their team made the entire process feel manageable, respectful, and thoughtfully handled from start to finish. I especially want to recognize Gisele Riviere, who was my main point of contact throughout the planning stage. Gisele was attentive, patient, and genuinely compassionate. She took the time to explain every detail clearly, answered all of my questions without hesitation, and ensured that my mother’s arrangements were handled exactly as intended. Her calm presence and professionalism made a meaningful difference for my family and me. Groover Funeral Home demonstrated true care, organization, and respect at every step. I am deeply appreciative of the support they provided and would confidently recommend them to anyone seeking a funeral home that treats families with empathy, dignity, and excellence.”

“I recently purchased a pre-arrangement cremation plan with this funeral home, and I had a truly positive experience during a very sensitive and emotional decision-making process. Gisele was incredibly kind, compassionate, and patient. She took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and made sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. Her professionalism and warmth made something difficult feel much more manageable. I’m very grateful for her guidance and highly recommend their services to anyone planning ahead.”

“I recently had to organize my Mother's cremation and thought it would be wise to purchase my own while I had some extra money after retiring from the Army recently. As the youngest child and only one that is taken my care of everything, it brings me peace. And purchasing my own will ease my transition to the inevitable. I have will ensure my Will is completed soon as I have no spouse or children. However, I know as. Veteran, I will be taken care of you n the end. Thank you Groover for everything you have done in my time of need as well as taking my care of my Mother.”
