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.

“Both of my parents used Crown Cremation Services so I've had 2 seperate experiences with them. Both times were, all things considered, very nice. Everyone I've interacted with were polite, kind, gentile and caring. They offer free personal grief services as a sort of "wrap program" which I had no need for, but I can imagine plenty of people do. It's nice that it's offered :) This ladt time I was in I picked up a price sheet and inted to get things set up for my partner and I so our children don't have anything to worry about. I absolutely recommend Crown Cremation Services for anyone interested in preparing for life's final time with a compassionate caring company.”
