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.

“No one ever wants to have to make the hard decisions for a loved one but I highly recommend Alpha cremation. My dad passed away in December of 2025. The second I called I was greeted with kindness and compassion. They explained everything in such details and it was so easy and stress free. Thank you so much for helping put my dad to rest. My mom and I will forever be grateful.”

“It was such a difficult time but Alpha handled all the things we needed and did so at a very fair price. This hasn’t been the case with other places in the past. Would definitely recommend!”

“Took over a MONTH to get my mother back. They drug their feet and messed up the paperwork repeatedly. Cremation itself only takes about 3 hours, the whole process should take 7-10 business days, two weeks max with delays, not OVER A MONTH. Not only that but every interaction with staff was met with attitude. These people should not be working with grieving families what so ever. You’re better off paying the extra money to have them transported away from their monopolized funeral homes, would probably be cheaper too. I’m convinced most of the positive reviews are by staff of their family members, I wouldn’t trust them. Either that or they’re extremely discriminatory against people who can’t pay their inflated full package prices. Seems like if you get direct cremated you’re treated like scum. You’re better off going anywhere else but here, they have bought out the surrounding funeral homes so don't bother with anything in the area, the staff are just are rude elsewhere. Staff didn’t seem to like that I knew the standard process time that this is supposed to take, don’t let them drag their feet holding onto your family member so they can up-charge with refrigeration fees because of their mistakes and their delays.”
