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.

“My grandmother died at Kindred hospital in Paramount. Kindred uses this place as their morgue. We were absolutely horrified by the man who came to pick her up. We watched other patients who died that had used their own mortuary be picked up and neatly tuck with a white sheet. Not these people who picked up my grandma. When the man arrived my teenaged nephew asked if he could stay in the room while he loaded her onto gurney. He got very rude and said id rather you didnt so I can do my job. When he did wheel her out he had thrown a big black blanket over her sloppily dragging on the floor. My sister followed him out to see my grandma for last time. What she saw the man driving shocked her. He drove a old beat up mini van maybe 1980's dented up no window tent. He just put our grandma in the back of that junk.with gold letting on side. It was very upsetting. So we immediately started making arrangements to get her out of those people care. I can only imagine the way they treated her body when we weren't there. So I got another morgue to go pick her up within a couple hours of her arriving. They would not release her body. They said tomorrow from 9 to 5. We'll tomorrow came and they still refused to release her body. This time saying their staff was on vacation and they couldn't do anything until Monday. My grandma died on Tuesday. They forced us to wait almost a week to pick her up. I dont know how they are still in buisness. Dont use this place to pick up your loved one. Very unperfessional in so many ways. Made our grandmas passing even harder having to see and deal with these people.”
