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.

“Losing my Lily was one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my life, but the team here made an unbearable situation feel as gentle and dignified as possible. Choosing aquamation for her after life care was the best decision I could have made. From the very first conversation, I felt supported, informed, and never rushed. Ron was absolutely amazing throughout this entire process. He didn’t just handle logistics — he handled me. He spoke with compassion, patience, and genuine kindness. I truly felt like I had a friend walking me through something incredibly painful. Every detail was treated with respect and care. Lily was honored in a way that brought me peace during a time when peace felt impossible. If you are facing the devastating loss of a pet, I cannot recommend this place enough. They provide not only professional service, but real human compassion and that makes all the difference.”

“I can’t even begin to tell you how much Soothing Streams has meant to us in the days after we said goodbye to our sweet Teddy. At a time when we were absolutely devastated, they stepped in and stepped up, making our goodbye a little bit easier and a whole lot more beautiful. A first class operation all the way, which is exactly what our boy deserved. Thank you so much, Soothing Streams, for making a very sad situation a little bit easier on our family.”
