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.

“First time for myself in having to deal with a loved ones passing. I flew in from Mexico and only have a limited amount of time. Travis helped out so much. He took his time to answer all the questions. My step dad needed to someone like Travis to listen. He definitely did that. He made it pretty painless considering where we were. They have so many options. They're very kind and patient. Thank you for all your help. Sv Rhiannon ♥️☮️🌎”

“My experience with Crown Cremation was so smooth, quiet and comfortable that I was done before I realized it. Bruce was very informative, answered my questions without hesitation. He also helped me verbalize the ones I tried to form but couldn't quite get it out.”

“We had purchased our prepaid plans a number of years ago and convinced my wife’s aging mother (who was living with us at the time) to also purchase a prepaid policy. When she died recently, they were very professional and caring about the process and we received several calls to obtain the necessary information for the death certificate. They provided a link in an email to sign the necessary documents online and the process was very straightforward and easy. We would highly recommend this company and their support during this trying time.”
