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.

“With the recent passing of my mother Neptune Society gave us support and extended patience as we needed time to make decisions around her cremation. They kindly received all our questions and provided us with all we needed to move through each days challenges.Their kind words and thoughtful answers made it possible to grieve and plan. I would highly recommend Neptune Society for your cremation services.”

“Several years ago I researched cremation as an alternative to the traditional funeral/burial ritual which I knew was not the exit strategy appropriate for me. Neptune was and is an exceptional choice for anyone considering cremation as their preference. The service options can be tailored for any specific wishes of the client. I want to make this part of my journey as simple for my children and as true to my beliefs as desired. My family is very pleased with all of the arrangements Neptune has made. I must also include a note of gratitude about the affordability, quality and value Neptune brings to the table. Thank you and Bright Blessings”

“Such an easy experience. I spoke with Lindsey and she was amazing. This gives me great peace of mind knowing that I have everything set for my boys and grandkids. I will be leaving them with a little part of me to remember. To make things a little bit easier for them, death is hard enough. Neptune Society is such a beautiful and amazing place to give me so many options to leave memories for my loved ones. Such a gift. Highly recommend”
