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.

“Awesome place to come visit. The temple is beautiful :) Loved the pond with all the koi fish. There is a $5 entry fee per person if you are not with a tour group. Parking is limited.”

“This place is a must see. The grounds are absolutely amazing. I do not know much about the religion, though I still recommend it as a stop. The scenery is breathtaking. The gentleman at the front gate was very friendly and helpful. They have a little gift shop with some really neat stuff We really enjoyed our time here. It is very peaceful and serene.”
