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.

“Saira and her team are amazing. They are very knowledgeable and dilligent. They have great attention to detail, and make sure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.

“Best services I ever had, chapels were clean and they were big, the ladies were very respectful and very professional, everything was done in a timely manner. These are hardworking women, and I am amazed to see how professional they manage their work. I am grateful for these hardworking ladies that don’t need a man to do their job, these ladies can do it themselves and they do a very damn good job.”

“The office staff are super respectable. Never did they stress me for money and we're upfront from day one. They coordinated every thing which helped me during my time of need. And im.saying this for two funerals 7 years apart held in this home. I cant say enough good things about them and the clean comforting environment. Thank you 🙏”
