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.

“Meadowbrook is a beautiful and peaceful place. Well kept and maintained. The on site service was beautiful and the on site chapel was very peaceful and nice. We all felt comfortable and at ease knowing our special loved one was in such a beautiful place.”

“Sent me a letter trying to sell me services. I called and was told a plot was purchased for me and my file needed info. I told Mia I was still alive and kicking and she hung up on me. Don’t know how they got my information but as someone that’s been in breast cancer treatment I don’t appreciate the callous way of selling or imagining how they got my information or why she hung up on me when she was obviously phishing to make a sale. Nasty way of doing business. Would never let such a shady lady handle my last wishes.”
— Amber Goins
“DO NOT ENTRUST YOUR LOVED ONE AT THIS CEMETERY! The NEW OWNERS REMOVE your flowers every year, & try to say it’s to clean up outdated & worn flowers. HOWEVER for the past TWO years, management removed NEW flowers I just put on my infant son’s grave, as well as my Mom & Dad. THIS PLACE NO LONGER RESPECTS YOUR LOVED ONE. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!”
— Annette Roe
