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.

“Tri County Cremation was very professional, respectful, and caring to my family during the loss of my father. Jason Williamson and his team were very responsive to our inquiries, always returning phone calls and emails in a timely fashion and offering every comfort we needed, and even what we didn't know we needed. At such a difficult time it is a great relief to have someone looking out for your best interests and those of your deceased loved one. My family will always be grateful.”
— Tina Kehoe
“When my grandmother passed away, we came to Tri-County Cremation Center because we had used their services in the past when my grandfather died. They did their research knew this even though it had been 22 years since his death. Jason was very courteous and personable. He made everyone feel at ease, and did not push any extra services or more expensive options on our family. He replied to phone calls and emails quickly and in a professional manner. When the family arrived to retrieve my grandmother's ashes, the urn wasn't merely passed across a desk to them. The chapel was set up with the urn and a lit candle in a presentation that was somber yet celebratory. The personal items that were with her when she came in were disposed of in the manner the family requested. Both times we have used Tri-County Cremation Center we have had wonderful experiences even under the circumstances. Our family won't use anyone else, and I highly recommend them.”
