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.

“WOW WOW and WOW! Thank you, Jared and Gina and your whole crew, for making this dream a reality! Experienced, Professional, Timely, Consistent, and Great Communication. Most folks delay this headstone process, but THERE is PEACE knowing it's done, and no one has to worry about what we want. Our headstone is SO INCREDILY BEAUTIFUL! We love it and it turned out EXACTLY as envisioned. The exquisite black granite marble stone is beyond stunning, and our pictures made all the difference! Thank you, Gina, for helping me! This magnificent BLACK rock ;) tells OUR story and on-lookers years from now, WILL remember us, the WAY we want to be remembered OR they will say, "Those two did it right!" Thank you, Capitol Monuments! Job beyond WELL DONE!”

“They were absolutely AMAZING and so kind to us. We lost our daughter in July 2025 and wanted a headstone for her that was simple, yet fitting. The stillbirth of our daughter was unexpected and so we had little time to plan for her funeral, as she was too young to be properly embalmed. We weren't even sure if we were going to be able to get a headstone by her funeral because most places had a 2-6mo lead time. We came here and explained our situation and that the funeral was six days away. They IMMEDIATELY reassured us and got to work on the design. They got this done for us in FIVE days. EVEN THOUGH THEIR ARTIEST WAS GOING ON VACATION. Absolutely incredible! The whole process was so easy and they were so respectful. We will definitely use them for the rest of our headstones.”
