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.

“Lets call it 4.89 stars. ONLY reason its not 5 is the location; the neighborhood is not the greatest. However, the staff was Absolutely fantastic and this location is newly renovated. Pictures shown do NOT do it justice. It is a very nice facility and they are VERY accommodating to all your needs. Shout out especially to Maria and Mark for a absolutely wonderful celebration of life service. I cant thank you enough.”
