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.

“Nathan and Juan are my florists for life. We have used them for our own wedding, as well as countless holidays. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.”
— Joshua Faas
“Yet again, Nathan and his team have outdone themselves. For my grandmothers first anniversary of her passing, I requested an ‘English garden-esque’ arrangement reminiscent of her funerary flowers (also curated by Nathan) to be placed on a saddle that would hug her tombstone. Just picked them up and couldn’t be happier with the result. I had requested aromatic flowers to be placed in the arrangement and although they were not in season, Nathan included a sprig of jasmine from his very own personal garden at home 🥹. If that doesn’t tell you just how much he loves what he does then I don’t know what will. True fan of this small business and the people behind it and I look forward to continuing to work with them for years to come!”

“During one of the most difficult moments of my life, Avenue Flowers, Nathan and his team were a beaming light in the darkness. Ordering flowers for my grandmother’s funeral was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do and after ordering with Avenue Flowers I left with such a great experience and one I would share with my family and friends. Nathan understood my vision, he worked around the clock to get what was needed for my grandmothers services with very little time to prepare and his kindness and empathy comforted me throughout the process. The day I stepped into/out of his shop, I left with reassurance, a beautiful order of florals to send my grandmother off in the most beautiful way and a newly gained friendship and vendor contact. Nathan and his team are reliable, dependable, charismatic and professional. A dime a dozen.”
