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.

“The loss of a loved one is very difficult. Fred hunters helped make everything easier for myself and my family. Taking my dad into their care and carefully curating a beautiful celebration of life for him. I can’t thank them enough. Mercedes helped me the whole way through and handled it all. I also had great staff on the day of his celebration of life, I don’t remember their names. But they were so nice. The food and decor was amazing. Thank you for giving us a beautiful day that we will cherish forever and for honoring my father so perfectly.”

“It is so hard to lose a loved one, but, I can't say enough great things about the Fred Hunter funeral home on university drive and Nova. My pops was 95y, we did everything, but, his body was giving up,and after 7 days here in hospice, we, my mom and I, had to make arrangements. Kaylah and Simone met with us at the Fred Hunter funeral home and explained everything, there patience and compassion were immeasurable. They asked a lot of questions about my dad, and explained a memorial table, I brought stuff for it, but the ones they set up were beautiful, Kaylah and Peggy helped me so much with the pictures and obituary. So many changes needed to be made,there unending patience with us 🙏 we so appreciated. Simone was so compassionate as well. Greg greeted all in the beginning of the service. Miriam and Victor ran the service amazingly! Our pastor was awesome too. Kaylah took the play list of music and my pops favorite songs were playing, we also had food and beverages and, it was a true celebration of his life. I was so impressed, I am planning to get my own package for myself there, this way, no one will have to be pressured, and it will be paid for. From the awesome service, flowers, memorial tables, and the way they literally went above and beyond, I really loved the Fred Hunter funeral home on university Drive and I highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you again so much!”

“I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the entire team at Fred Hunter's Funeral Home and Fred Hunter's Hollywood Memorial Gardens Cemetery. During an incredibly difficult time, you all went above and beyond to make the celebration of life for my 2-month-old baby niece truly special. Your team’s flexibility and open-mindedness in honoring our requests, despite the short notice, were remarkable. The home-going service was beautiful and brought comfort to our family. Special thanks to: Raphael - Your love, support, and professionalism were truly amazing. You have a gift for caring for families during their toughest moments. Mercedes Miranda (Funeral Director), Barbara Losada, Kayla, Miriam and the entire team - Your dedication, attention to detail, and compassion made a profound difference. To everyone who contributed, even those whose names I couldn’t recall, thank you for your kindness and support. You all showed what it means to serve with love and care.
