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.

“From beginning to end Sunset memorial made my mom's transition with grace and professionalism. My mother didn't want a funeral at all but we did a very small informal viewing for my immediate family. They treated us just as professionally as if we had a huge funeral. My mother looked beautiful and at peace. That is something that was definitely needed. Would give 10 stars if I could. Knowing how time and life works I know we will definitely choose them in the future for their services.”
