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.

“My mom passed away on 1/13/26. We contacted Neptune Society same day, and got the ball rolling, I didn’t want my mom in the morgue any longer then necessary. Ana and Elizabeth helped us out and got all the arrangements made for her remains and got us set up with the Certificate of Death. It’s been a rough few weeks with lots to do but they took care of the hardest part. I highly recommend them and their services”

“The staff at Neptune Society were exceptionally helpful to me during my immediate time of need. I was assisted and guided through a very difficult time, made even more complex by the fact that my loved one, my family, and I were in three different States and finally arrangements involved two different States. I highly recommend Neptune for preneed and as needed or immediately needed service.”
— Stella Eston
“I had never before been with a loved one when they passed on. The Hospice nurse asked who I would contact when it happened. I said 911, and he told me I had to contact a morgue. He suggested Neptune Society as he had worked with them when his brother passed on. While one of the saddest experiences of my life, Neptune Society made it one of the most dear experiences. Within an hour, I was notified they were on their way to pick up my husband. The two people who came to the house were kind, respectful, patient, and caring. They made sure he was safe, and were very supportive of me. As the process progressed, my contact at Neptune was terrific - patient, knowledgeable, kind, and there to answer all of my questions. When I went to pick up my husband, the setting in the meeting room was beautiful. The staff were kind, informative, and willing to talk as long as needed. For something no one wants to go through, it was handled with dignity, kindness, and caring which made it stress free at a time when I needed no more stress in my life. Thank you Neptune Society for the dignity and grace with which you handled this unhappy time in my life.”
