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 cannot say enough wonderful things about Artistic Monument. They provided exceptional, quick and reliable service during such a difficult and emotional time. I am truly impressed with the care and professionalism that Scott and his wife Diana, showed throughout the entire process. They made what could have been a very challenging experience feel smooth and manageable with their kindness, patience, and attention to detail. The headstone surpassed all of my expectations. The craftsmanship and quality are outstanding. It is a beautiful and meaningful tribute to our mother. Thank you Scott and Diana, for your wonderful warm and compassionate service. Your dedication and care truly made a difference. We are incredibly grateful.”

“Artistic Monument exceeded my expectations! I placed my order with Scott to have an existing headstone engraved and a new headstone created and he ensured me that the job would be done quickly and he didn't disappoint! Diana was also very helpful and also very patient with all of the phone calls and questions I had lol. Both headstones came out perfect! I would recommend Artistic Monument to anyone looking for this type of work. If I could give 10 stars I would!”

“It has been a pleasure working with the team at Artistic Monument. Patient yet very methodical and quite communicative at every stage keeping us in the loop of things so that we were aware of things at all times. The process was convenient for us especially since we live in Oregon and the cemetery itself was quite far from the location for the team. Managing documentation as well as coordinating everything with the funeral location as well. Thank you very much for a work so wonderfuly concluded. Grateful! Mom thanks you from heaven too!”
