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 father was buried here when I was young, since then there’s been 2 new owners but it’s been well kept and a very peaceful place for me to go when I want to be close to him- now my baby boy is buried there with my dad and there they will be together until we meet again. I love you Dad, and mommy loves you Ryder.”

“I have upwards of 10 family members here, and I live more than 70 miles away. Every time I come down to the cemetery, I have to take the overgrown grass and weeds off of their markers, they do not keep up any of the gravestones they cut the grass only when they have to I do not recommend hillside cemetery one out of 5 stars, only because I have to give it 1.”
— Jamey Blixt
“When Grandma was buried here and for a couple years after it appeared nicely kept. Now I could barely find her headstone because there was so much over growth. Had to take a knife to cut the grass/vines away and throw water on to remove the dirt. Neighboring head stones were just as hidden. Very disappointing”
