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.

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to Triangle Memorial Cremations and Funeral Services for the way they handled the passing of my son. Stephen did a truly wonderful job. Even though he hasn't been in business for a very long time, he handled everything with the skill and grace of someone who has been doing this forever. He was so caring, and every single thing I asked for, he accommodated. By the end of the process, Stephen truly seemed like family to us. What stood out most was his kindness after the service; he personally came back to help place my son’s urn and still calls me to check in and see how I am doing. I was well pleased with everything. If you want someone who treats you like their own family, Stephen and Triangle Memorial Cremations and Funeral Services is the person to go to."”

“"Losing my brother has been an incredibly difficult journey for our family, but Triangle Memorial Cremations and Funeral Services provided the exact support and comfort we needed. A special thank you to Stephen Boyd, who guided us through every step with such compassion and patience. He made sure my brother was treated with the dignity he deserved and took so much of the weight off our shoulders during a very dark time. What truly touched us was that Stephen’s support didn't end with the service. He has continued to keep in touch with us to make sure we are transitioning okay and to check on our well-being. Knowing that he genuinely cares about how our family is doing even now means the world to us. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for professionalism and genuine, lasting kindness."”
