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.

“Holy Sepulchre is a beautiful, peaceful cemetery. The grounds are very well-taken care of. It's a lovely place to visit especially in the Spring and Summer. There are lots of big trees and animals roaming around. During the holidays you can order special Christmas wreaths to be placed. My father, grandparents, and great-grandparents are all buried there. We always enjoy our visit to Holy Sepulchre.”

“Absolutely disgraceful and disrespectful. I spent 100$s on memorial pieces for my mothers grave sight until her headstone came in. These people took everything off and threw it away. No one called or said a word or asked for it to be picked up. She had a beautiful cross with her picture in it that lit up and they just discarded it like trash. And I was told by management crosses weren’t allowed when this cemetery is a catholic cemetery??? I was also advised by management that if I didn’t want my belongings thrown away I should make my own memorial garden for my mom at my house… why says that. I haven’t been back to visit my mom in over a year because they have just absolutely ruined it for me in entirety”

“They could do a better job at keeping the area looking nice. I went on July 4th and the Veteran area was a mess. I had to dust off many graves to read the names of the Veterans. Grass clippings were completely covering most of them. I would expect better, especially on a Holiday that is for them. Other areas had a similar issue. They need to edge the grass around the graves so that it's not growing almost completely over the grave. Afterwards, blow those areas off. This is common sense and it's sad I even have to mention it.”
