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.

“Bay Area Cremation was very thoughtful and sensitive to our loss. We had used their services previously in 2011. They were able facilitate pick up of the deceased in a timely manner. They did a great job of taking care of the details,”
— Chuck Pierce
“It’s never a pleasure to experience the loss of a loved one on any level. Our parents prepared in advance many years ago to be cremated and processed through Bay Area Cremation. When the time came for us to call and have each one picked up after they passed, we experience the most amazing respect, professionalism, and communication. There was a spirit of all of the people involved that comforted our family through this tough process.”
— Kellie Green
“My experience with Bay Area Cremation was the best experience I could have asked for during one of the most painful moments of my life. In such a heartbreaking situation, Tiffany and the entire Bay Area Cremation team treated me with genuine compassion, patience, and care. Their kindness and support meant more to me than words can express, and I am beyond thankful for the comfort they provided during such an incredibly difficult time.”
