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 recently lost my daughter. She was sent to Spokane and spent time in the CICU. We are not from Spokane, so when the time came to decide on arrangements after her passing, I was a bit lost. The Chaplain at Sacred Heart gave me a list of options but recommended Pacific NW Cremation. It was right before Thanksgiving so making arrangements took a little longer than usual, but I was able to make all the arrangements via computer and phone from my home. The staff is very caring and compassionate. I would recommend them to anyone.”

“After receiving the worst phone call of my life over 2,500 miles away in South Carolina, I would not have made it through the unexpected death of my father had it not been for Katie. Her gentle spirit, professional guidance, and empathy provided more comfort than I ever knew possible. I never imagined this is how I'd lose the most important person in my life, but if it had to be this way, then I wouldn't have wanted anyone else for the job. Katie - you were a Godsend. Thank you will never be enough.”

“First of all I want to commend Jennifer, she was kind, honest and answered all of our questions-even those we didn’t know to ask. Jennifer stayed in constant contact with us throughout the process which was difficult as he passed in a different state. Jennifer walked us through every option, gave us guidance when we didn’t know what to do and did an amazing job helping with the celebration of life. She gets 5+ stars⭐️ I took 1 star away due to the email I received from Brian Drew. This email while I’m sure is standard practice was hurtful and completely inappropriate. Brian spelled my name wrong- it’s literally on every document and literally in my email. Brian also got my husband’s name incorrect. He listed Steven not Michael or Mike. How careless, incompetent and disrespectful. To send a solicitation email about how I could have saved $2k to bring my husband “Steven home” is absolutely infuriating. His carelessness reopened my wounds, disrespected my husband’s memory and made it feel like it was just another body he was emailing a family about. I assure you he wasn’t. I hope Brian’s family never has to feel the way that email made me feel. He also sent it to my daughter which was uncalled for. His rating ⚫️”
