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.

“We worked with Jennifer at Greenoaks to handle all of my mother’s arrangements. She was truly a blessing to my dad and I. She made everything so easy and took extra time with us making us feel so at ease. I would highly recommend asking for Jennifer in your time of need. Moments like the ones that bring us to Greenoaks, need to be handled by professional compassionate people, and we found that in Jennifer.”

“In an unexpected death of a dear family member, I, as next of kin, needed to make quick decisions about cremation, per his will’s request upon passing. I was not familiar with cremation services, as we had only ever used Greenoaks for traditional funeral and burial services. So, Allison, my assigned director, worked very closely with me explaining, detailing and sharing so kindly any and all information I needed to move forward. Allison was patient, so very respectful, and quick to offer any answers to the many questions I had. The timeliness of both the cremains and death certificates being returned to me/our family was impressive as well. Additionally, Allison was very careful and professional in dealing with an unfortunate situation created by an outside acquaintance of our loved one. Her protection of our personal and private requests and mindfulness toward our concerns while respecting our close family’s need to keep things very private was appreciated beyond words!”

“My mother pre-planned and pre-paid for her end of life journey. When the day came, all we had to do was notify Greenoaks that she had passed and then go sign the final paperwork. Our funeral director was perfectly professional. She was kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and expedient in getting everything taken care of. When the time came to pick up my mother’s ashes, I asked if she could place them in 3 separate bags for myself and my siblings. It was all ready by the time we got there. Greenoaks has handled all our family’s funeral needs in the past. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need.”
