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.

“If I could give this place 0 stars i would. I wouldn't let them handle the death of my enemy. They are extremely unprofessional in person and on the phone. They never gave me my husbands wedding band or necklace. They said it was the family's responsibility to ask for it.They messed up my husbands death certificates. They called his ashes heavy. And they dont explain anything and expect you to know what to do.”
