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 you need a service to handle the work that is heartbreaking just as you are grieving, I can not say enough about Tulip 🌷 They come after you leave and manage file all the necessary government paperwork, cremation and shipping the remains to any family member you choose. I set everything up in advance, had the card on file and when it’s over, you simply notify by Tulip 🌷 by pushing a button online. We were able to walk out that evening and relax together without anything more to do. And my dad is now safe with my sister in San Fransisco.”

“I found my self in need of someone to take care of my brother. I am in SC and he was in San Francisco. I found Tulip online and they met my needs. Even before I finished the online process a Tulip called and helped me complete the paper work. The whole process was quick, easy, and reasonably priced.”
