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 came by here in the summer of 2024 to visit some of my ancestors {Perez & family}. We arrived first thing in the morning, just after the gate was unlocked. Local police seemed to be monitoring the area, which I thought was nice... I'm not sure if they patrol here every morning, but they were there the morning I was. I look forward to visiting again when I might have the opportunity to see inside the chapel.”

Came here alone on Christmas morning because my family wanted to stay in bed, currently in a bar by myself, texting “merry Christmas” to every one I know and witnessing New Orleans bar regulars exchange Christmas gifts and warm greetings Life is beautiful I want so much more of it”

“Wonderful old cemetery. Note the inscription in German of Franz Grunder, born in Alsace. Also the Bohlen family, natives of Hanover, Germany (where I grew up). Note the German spelling of Hanover (Hannover with 2 "n").”
