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 Uncle passed away from heart failure in San Fran. I am a New Yorker who didn't know San Fran's laws/rules on how to prepare for his funnel. Connie had helped me in multiple ways and well-prepared me before I flew to SF. I really appreciated her great advice. Thanks to her, the funnel was done smoothly and nicely.”

“Attended a service at the facility for a relative. The funeral director was good at handling the arrangement and memorials. The facilities were a reminders of a by-gone era but that made the services reflect that I am attending services for a passing of an era. I liked that it was located away from the downtown area but it was just a short ride via to get there via Muni’s 38-line. I would recommend for needed services.”
