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.

“Thank you to Simplicity for guiding my family through a difficult time. Their entire staff were incredibly compassionate and professional, making a painful process manageable. They explained everything clearly, were always available, and handled everything. We felt truly cared for and respected. Highly recommend for their kindness and excellent service."”

“The staff here took care of everything for me. I have never done a direct cremation before. The process was very easy. They made my loved one presentable for viewing following an autopsy. They helped me with the death certificates and the price was very affordable. They were very caring and sensitive to a time for picking up the remains that would not interfere with another family viewing their loved one. I felt respected and cared for and would recommend this business.”

“My little dog passed away from a short illness early sunday morning. I called around to get a good price on cremation.Simplicity told me a hundred twenty five dollars and that taylor would be calling me to send an appointment that day to bring my pet in. Ours went by. I never heard from him. I called again spoke to a gentleman who is driving in his vehicle and said that he handles the human side and Taylor handles the pet side and that he was going to have Taylor call me and Taylor would give me a time to meet him at the facility. Well it's been a whole day now?And I never heard from taylor really poor customer service. I had to take my pet to west park animal hospital, who charged me nearly four hundred dollars.I'm on a fixed income.I'm elderly.I do not recommend simplicity cremation. Obviously their positive reviews. Are staged.”
