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.

“Dear wonderful staff members at Friends Forever, Our very dearest, sweetest, lovely furry baby Lulu was cared for with your very special, wonderful, kind, warm, caring, and sweet services. Lulu was extremely special to our family. Lulu was our very precious furry family member. Lulu had a very special life journey with us. We drove 40 hours to California to see Lulu and adop Lulu and drove Lulu home with us in New Jersey. Lulu had a special 40-hour road trip with us from California to New Jersey to have a new loving home and a new sweet chapter of life with us in our family at the time. Since Lulu was so special and will always be special in our hearts of all our family members, we would like to take this opportunity to send this sincere special message with a very special heartfelt gratitude from the bottom of our hearts to you and to your so very wonderful services. We would like to say thank you dearly and deeply from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to help us care for Lulu with your warm, kind, and thoughtful services at Friends Forever. You took so very good care of Lulu at the very last time when Lulu left this earth to go to heaven. We did not know your services. Lulu was sent to you at Friends and Forever by Lulu's lovely primary Doctor, Dr. Screnci and her lovely team members at Rothman Animal Hospital on behalf of our family. We knew Friends and Forever thanks to a very amazing, caring, kind, and sweet Doctor, Dr. Screnci and her nurses at Rothman Animal Hospital. We feel very fortunate for Lulu when Dr. Screnci sent Lulu to Friends and Forever on our behalf. Lulu was very lucky to be cared for by Friends and Forever. We are forever and always grateful to Friends Forever. Yes, we are going through a very profound grief of losing our very dearest beloved furry baby Lulu. However, thanks to the wonderful services that Friends Forever provided and cared for Lulu, it helps us so much in our hearts when our hearts were breaking into pieces. Your thoughtfulness, kindness, respect, support, care, warmth, and meaningful services truly help comfort us greatly as we could tell and experience that Lulu was in kind hands and in good care with warm hearted staff members at Friends and Forever. When we picked Lulu up at Rothman Animal Hospital after Friends and Forever dropped Lulu off. We were so thrilled and speechless to see and experience the wonderful and meaningful things that Friends and Forever did for Lulu. It was/is/will always be very comforting fir us to experience that Lulu was taken so good care of at the very last time when Lulu went to heaven. Thank you Thank you and Thank you Friends and Forever today, forever, and always for helping us to take so very good care of Lulu wonderfully. Thank you again again and again from the bottom of our hearts for understanding our profound grief. Lulu is in heaven now looking down to us and sincerely say Thank you thank you and thank you to you, to the kindhearted staff members at Friends Forever always and always too.

“After going though a nightmare with another place we picked our girl up and brought her over to Andrea. After sitting and discussing details she set up our girl beautifully so we can all say our final goodbyes the very next day. Everything was professional and brought us peace during an extremely difficult time. After reading some of the negative comments about Andrea it made me upset -- although she isn't what you would call "warm and fuzzy" .. she was professional, kind, caring and you can tell she would take the very best care of your pet before sending them home 💜”

“I had a few pets that died of old age, and I was never happy with the crematory I took them to. When my last dog died Scruffy, it was one of the hardest moments of my life. From the moment I contacted Friends Forever I was treated with compassion, respect and care. I felt like I wasn’t alone dealing with this. They handled Scruffy so gently and professionally, and brought me comfort knowing he was in good hands during this painful time. The ashes were beautifully prepared in a wooden box with his name plate on top. Thank you for being there for me and providing such a thoughtful and dignified service. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.”
