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 had a special need for a special family that wanted Aqua Cremation. As a Funeral Professional myself, trusting one of the families that we cared for into the hands of White Rose Aqua Cremation was 100% the right choice. Kahla, was compassionate, professional and genuinely "others-oriented" in her approach to helping families in need. She made this the best experience we could have hoped for... I would give 10 stars if I could.”
— David Finch

This is the kind of service that anyone would appreciate at such a hard time. I will truly recommend them. Thank you so much David and Kahla.”
