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.

“Accucare is professional yet sensitive, hand-holding in a time of great sadness, guiding you through the difficult process of deciding things you don’t want to decide! From the beginning, Israel walked me through all the sensitive details, helping me to clearly define my family’s wishes. Then when I was scheduled to pick up my mom’s ashes the kindest gentlest man, John, walked us all the way to our car holding the urn for us! Just a really top notch business that doesnt try to upsell you when you’re feeling weak and vulnerable. Thank you for being so honest, Accucare.”

“The young man who came to pick up my Dad after he died was very respectful and informative. Israel, who helped us with the cremation arrangements and birth certificate information was very patient, kind and helpful. He explained everything in great detail, sometimes more than once, which I needed because the death of my Dad was disorienting and I had trouble thinking clearly. From my experience, this business has trained their employees in the type of sensitivity needed to engage with people who are actively going through grief.”
