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 referred my daughter-in-law and her family to Advantage Funeral Home for arrangements for their mother. I knew that Dora and her staff would be compassionate and caring during this difficult time. I am beyond words and grateful for Dora in assisting this family during a very difficult time. I knew they were in very good hands as Dora has overseen services for my brothers and went above and beyond in ensuring that our family was well taken care of. Highly recommended anyone to contact Advantage Funeral Home for thei loved ones as they will be treated with compassion.”

“I’m not one to leave reviews but felt compelled to do so for Advantage Funeral & Cremation Services @ 7010 Chetwood, Houston, Tx 77081. This was the first time I have had to arrange a funeral. When my father passed away, I was an emotional wreck and called to get guidance on how to proceed with arranging services and burial. I spoke with Dora Benavides and met with her. Dora was kind, compassionate, and professional and helped me navigate through the process. My father was a veteran and wanted a military service. Dora knew exactly what to do and explained in detail everything I needed to know for my father to have the military service he wanted. During the process, I would call Dora with many questions. She always answered everything in detail and would even call me with updates. Anytime I felt overwhelmed with downloading pictures and memories for my father’s service, Dora was there to guide me and help make sure everything was just as I wanted. The entire staff was amazingly kind and compassionate through the whole process. Every detail was handled perfectly and my father had a beautiful funeral with the military ceremony he always wanted. I could not have done this without the support of Dora and the wonderful staff. I will always be grateful to Dora for her help during the most difficult time in my life.”
