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.

They are very nice people, sweet and always answer to my questions and gave great advice. I lost my sweet husband recently. They sent him here, I was able to communicate with them well. And I am sure they treat my husband well. I trust them and I appreciate all ur hard work, special thanks to Julie and her team.not an easy job. My husband and I appreciate your work and kindness.”

“First and foremost I would like to give a special thanks to our arranger Ernesto! Ernesto made this experience very smooth despite me being unorganized and all over the place. They were very understanding and showed lots of empathy. I am forever thankful for having Ernesto to help out with our situation. Carlos also was very amazing! As soon as I walked in Carlos made sure to ask how we wanted to go about our event. They continued to check up on me throughout the viewing to make sure everything was going great for us and of course thanks to them it absolutely was. They were very patient with us and showed empathy to all of my family. Last but definitely not least, Cecilia was phenomenal! Cecilia greeted us with so much love and a kind heart! They knew all the right words to say to someone who is facing a hard time. Cecilia also made it clear that we can come to them for any assistance. Overall, my experience with lighthouse was completely satisfying. I would 10/10 recommend these services to my family and friends. Thank you lighthouse for an amazing experience during a difficult time.”

“This place is so unprofessional. Had to make a appointment to retrieve my son's body from the hospital. The first appointment was 11 days after he passed. I was advised I needed to fill our forms online, but only at the appointment time. I called because I never received them. Now it's been over 3 hours and no word. I finally went with a different establishment.”
