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.

“The funeral home staff was attentive and supportive up until my uncle was laid to rest. After that point, communication and care declined significantly, and interactions became outright rude, which was deeply disappointing during an already difficult time. The grounds themselves are beautiful, and many members of my family are buried here. This review is not a reflection of the property, but of how we were treated, which ultimately fell far short of what grieving families deserve.”
— Rachel Woods
“Rebecca was an asset to me with providing me with the information needed to make an appropriate decision for the grave markers for my parents. Anxiously waiting to see the final photo. Highly recommend!”
— Pat Stotts
“Compassionate and caring during funeral and burial process but that seems to be where the compassion and caring ends. Included footstone in funeral package but it has been almost 5 months since funeral and still no footstone or communication regarding footstone. Was told the day of funeral I should receive a proof to sign off on with in a few days. Again it has been almost 5 months, no proof or stone and repeated calls, voicemails and emails have gone unanswered. They do a great job upfront but follow through is very much lacking.”
— John Cook
