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.

“Jason was incredibly nice and upfront about the process we needed to take and the cost of everything after my father suddenly passed away. Let's be completely honest, if someone you love, died suddenly, you may not have all the financial things in order to give them their last wishes. We had my father cremated through Lucas Funeral Home, they keep finger prints of the passed loved one, so later on we could choose to turn those into a momento. Loretta was the one we spoke with the most, again extremely transparent about the process. She was the sweetest and most caring person, she really made us feel like family and at the most ease we could be during this very tough and challenging time. I would definitely recommend using them and we will use them going forward.”

“A couple months ago I had my aunts funeral here. They didn't tell us until the last second that we needed to send pictures to a separate email for the slideshow. They say that there would be an organist or music playing but there was no music at all. The funeral was incredibly short and the family basically did the whole thing by themself which made it last about 30 minutes if not less. And last but not least my great aunt ordered a flower spread before her passing to go on her casket but it was not received. They just took it off the bill. A family member that held our family together got the most pathetic funeral ever.”
