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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Justin, the owner of Tri Lakes Funeral and Cremation, is truly exceptional. His service is compassionate, gentle, and deeply supportive. Having him by our side felt like having an advocate during what is likely the hardest moment of your life. After losing my 23-year-old son, I was completely numb. I wasn’t prepared and had no idea what the steps were or what to expect. Justin took care of everything—literally every detail—so we didn’t have to carry that burden while grieving. He also provided us with a piece of cremation jewelry so I could hold my son close, which meant more than words can express. He communicated consistently with my husband, was always available via text, and patiently answered questions about next steps. His presence alone brought a sense of calm during chaos. Most importantly, he took such great care of my son. I am forever grateful for Justin and the way he guided us through this process with dignity, respect, and heart. This is where you go. Period.”

“Justin was awesome when my mother passed away. He took care of all of the funeral arrangements for both of my parents to be buried side by side at Fort Logan cemetery. He also picked out my mother’s urn, which was her favorite color, red. He was very excited for me to see it and that meant a lot to me. He put in all the work, and I feel like he went above and beyond so I had nothing to worry about. The funeral was beautiful, and I would recommend Justin to help you, as he helped me.”

“It's never an enjoyable experience to need such a service, but at some point many of us do. My mom was on hospice and they gave me a list of funeral/cremation services covering Colorado Springs and Monument (we live in Monument). When the time arrived to need his service (around 7:30pm on a Monday), he arrived very quickly. He was compassionate, thoughtful and thorough. He did not ask for payment right then and there. I took a check to his office in next day or two later. We already had the urns (he had suggested on the phone to buy them on Amazon (cheaper) or he could sell more expensive ones). I gave him the urns when he transported my mom and instructions that I needed two small baggies with her cremains for jewelry my daughter and I would have made. He delivered the filled urn, two baggies and her correct number of death certificates within 2 weeks (or less). I was very grateful for his assistance and compassion during a difficult time.”
