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 want to sincerely thank Gaston Memorial Park for their exceptional care and service during such a difficult time for my family. Rudy was absolutely amazing. He was super polite, kind, and friendly, and he made everything feel very personal (in the best way possible). He was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and made sure I understood everything, which brought me so much comfort and peace. His parents truly did an outstanding job raising him, because his compassion and professionalism speak volumes. He treated me like family, and that meant more than I can ever put into words. Rudy is like family to me now, and I can’t thank him enough from the bottom of my heart for being there when I needed it most. I will never forget his kindness. There were several special moments where I truly felt an exceptional level of care and attention. Rudy never made me feel rushed, no matter how many questions I had. He took his time to explain everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable with each step of the process. What stood out the most was his compassion. He spoke to me with genuine kindness and patience, and he could tell when I was overwhelmed. He reassured me and made me feel supported, not just like a client, but like family. He paid attention to the small details and made sure everything was handled exactly how I wanted it, which meant the world to me during such an emotional time. Thank you and God Bless”

“These people buried my husband in a place I didn't not agree with. They also forged my name saying I signed it. I never ever talked to anyone about burying him there. They are very money hungry. I won't be buried in the evil money hungry graveyard.”

“I want to thank Jessica for her courtesy and her great services that she gave me and my family. She was kind and was available to assist us when it was convenient for me and my daughters. I would also like to thank Gerald for taking the time to take care of my daughter's vase. My family and I appreciate it. We would recommend Gaston Memorial Park to anyone who asked.”
