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.

“I'd like to thank Hughes Funeral Alternatives for their caring support during a difficult time. My mom happened to be laid to rest on my dad's birthday....Jon officiated for us as well at the service held at Jefferson Barracks and he ended with the most beautiful poem. His thoughtfulness, grace and compassion will always be remembered. More importantly, I will always remember how I felt at peace after his words were spoken. Thank you Jon. Thank you Hughes Funeral Alternatives. God Bless you! 02/06/26”
