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.

“All the staff we interacted with especially from the time Jasmine and Juan came to collect my husband were so respectful and caring. The staff who managed the burial were so kind and professional. I couldn’t have asked for a more solemn and all around professional service. Thank you all for the support and respect you have shown us during our time of grief.”

“I rarely leave reviews, but families deserve transparency and compassion during one of the most vulnerable times of their lives. Our experience with Luciano was deeply disappointing. Instead of feeling supported, we felt pressured and met with inconsistent explanations about pricing. When we questioned the high costs, he blamed management and stated that everything was expensive because that is how it was set up. This shifting of responsibility did not provide clarity or reassurance. When I asked to speak with someone in a higher position, Luciano laughed and told me he was the one in charge. That response felt dismissive and unprofessional during an already painful time. I also reached out multiple times to one of the managers by email and voicemail to address these concerns and never received a response. The lack of follow-up made us feel completely unheard. I strongly encourage families to ask detailed questions upfront and ensure they are comfortable with who they are working with. I do want to recognize that the staff who assisted the night of the service and the following morning were excellent. They were compassionate, attentive, and brought much-needed relief during an incredibly stressful time. Unfortunately, the earlier interactions overshadowed what should have been a supportive and respectful experience.”
