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.

“It took me months to write this review, but I would like to give a well-deserved 5 stars to everyone who supported my family during our dad’s viewing and burial services. We are especially grateful to Jill Lane, who guided us through the entire process with compassion and professionalism, making everything feel smooth and manageable from the preparations until our dad was laid to rest. The facility itself is peaceful, calm, well-maintained, and very clean. We truly appreciated the care and respect shown to our family during such a difficult time. The Santiago Family”
