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.

“Repeatedly made junior high level spelling and grammar mistakes in the obit and program, then sent a bill a half a year later for more money despite already paying the agreed upon amount. Extremely unprofessional.”

“I would never recommend this place. My sister lost her husband and this guy has done nothing but lie and caused my brother n law not get his wishes followed through and to top it off he's a veteran so that is a disgrace for a place that is supposed to be there for you and honor our veterans to act like this. Enough said Shame on them!”
