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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“They took care of my furbaby Sadie for me and did a fantastic job. Both ladies that helped me on site were terrific. I was never rushed or talked into spending more. I felt that they took great care of my beloved furbaby. I paid for individual cremation and was surprised at how quickly she was ready for pick up. Unfortunately dogs don't live longer and I still have 2 doggies with one being a senior. When the time comes again I will definitely use their service again. The pricing is very reasonable, much better than others. Overall I felt valued at such an emotional time. The staff is exceptional.”

“My dog Ernest died suddenly a year ago today. Today while remembering his life and his passing, I recalled our experience with Tacoma Pet Crematory. The staff with whom we interacted were all kind and professional and they helped make a difficult time a little less so. The price was reasonable and the wood box in which we received the Ernest's remains is very nice. Beautiful grounds and building. I recommend this place without hesitation.”
