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.

“During one of the most difficult periods of my life, Crestwood Funeral Home provided exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism. I am especially grateful to Jacob Bunch, Keila Bueno, and Ana Delarosa, whose kindness, patience, and attentiveness made an incredibly painful time more manageable. From the very first interaction, they treated my family and me with dignity and genuine empathy. They took the time to explain every step, answered all of our questions with care, and ensured that my husband was honored in a meaningful and respectful way. Their support never felt rushed or impersonal—it was sincere and deeply appreciated. I am truly thankful for the compassion shown to my family, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Crestwood Funeral Home to anyone in need of thoughtful and professional care during a time of loss.”

“I want to sincerely thank Crestwood Funeral Home for the wonderful care and service they provided for my mother. They treated her with such dignity and compassion, and made her look so beautiful and peaceful. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our family, showing understanding even when we arrived early and stayed late. Their professionalism from start to finish from handling my mother’s arrangements to the burial was truly appreciated. When unexpected issues arose at the burial facility, they immediately stepped in and took care of everything for us. We are deeply grateful for their kindness, patience, and support during such a difficult time. The list goes on about how amazing the entire staff was before and during every step of the process. I would definitely choose Crestwood Funeral Home again when the need arises. Thank you again for providing such a beautiful and comforting experience.”

“This funeral home provided an amazing experience during one of the hardest times of my life. Keila was compassionate, attentive, and incredibly supportive, even with many last-minute changes -she handled everything without hesitation and never made me feel like I was asking for too much. The ceremony was beautiful, and the military honors for my husband, who served in the Navy, including taps and the folding of the flag, were deeply moving. Keila also arranged a Zoom call just for my sister who couldn’t attend, which meant so much to our family. Everything was handled with dignity, care, and genuine kindness. I would recommend this funeral home to anyone looking for thoughtful and respectful care during a difficult time”
