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.

“These folks were so kind during my sad time.. I felt cared for and not pressured at all to sell me a bunch of things I didn't want or try to upsell. Let's face it- death is a business and Cremation & Burial people do not have their hearts involved like we do.. This was the first time I had to do this and truthfully my experience was not overwhelming and I was shown great compassion... If you should ever need this type of service - this business will help you along during your trying time.”

“I have experienced the passing of two Loved ones within three years. For both of those family members I looked to Blairs Cremation to help through the process and to take care of my deceased Family members. They were always kind respectful and concerned. They provide a great service at a very reasonable price. Their selection of earns and other islands is outstanding. I would recommend Blair to anyone that is looking for end of life preparations”
