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 husband was a Vietnam veteran. He died suddenly of Cardiac arrest. I made one phone call to them. I had worked with Archie,one of their reps for my own arrangements. They took my call immediately. They got his body from the hospital. They handled everything that was so overwhelming for me at the time. They listened to my daughter when she did not want her dad cremated naked. They took the clothes she had picked out. No fuss. My husband was a tall man. His cremation produced two urns. They were wonderful to explain it to me. They made the arrangements with Bay Pines for his honors burial. They took so many things off my already overburnded shoulders. BreAnne Crawford was amazing...calm, helpful, informative. I so appreciated all her work. I recommend their services highly. Thorough, thoughtful, compassionate, and affordable. Everything I needed...I received and then some. WONDERFUL PEOPLE IN A DIFFICULT BUSINESS!!”

“Dealing with A Life Tribute was easy in an otherwise uneasy time as I dealt with my mother's death and private witness cremation. They guided me through everything and delivered the results that they promised. The only "issue" of note was that the viewing room was being renovated at the time of the viewing, so the viewing was in the dingy crematorium room instead. This was not a problem for me, but I could see it being an issue for some, especially as no notice was given.”

“From start to finish, A Life Tribute made everything easy. I live out of state and had to fly in to handle my mom’s affairs, and BreAnne couldn’t have been more gracious. She kept me in the loop every step of the way and guided me through the process with clarity and compassion. Her professionalism and empathy made a difficult time feel manageable, and I’m deeply grateful for the care she showed my family.”
