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 sincerely thank the entire team at the cemetery for the way my husband’s service was handled. From the moment we arrived, the office Rachel and the staff treated our family with kindness, professionalism, and grace. Every detail was managed with care and compassion, which meant so much during such a difficult time. The maintenance team also deserves special recognition—the grounds were beautifully maintained, peaceful, and respectful. It’s a comfort knowing my husband is laid to rest in such a serene and beautiful place. Thank you for helping us honor his memory with dignity and love.”
