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.

“They came and took my neighbor Bill in to their care and when I say it was so dignified and compassionate I absolutely mean it. They gave his wife a chance to say her farewells and gave her the utmost privacy when she was with him. They did ALL the arranging at her kitchen table so she didn't have to trek out and go to an impersonal place to get it all done. They were timely and didn't make her wait all day for them to take him. Just an all around beautiful transition. I really wish they were open when my husband passed away. I will recommend them to anyone in need of quality care.”

“A quick shoutout to Joanie Smith at Adams Cremation Services for their very professional and comforting responses when handling my mother's cremation services. They were both patient and extremely compassionate and helped us through a very difficult time. My mother (the day after her death) was taken to a large mortuary in Redding, CA, without any approval from my family, and then learned they try to 'force' families to pay bogus fees to retrieve the body of their loved ones. At this point, Joanie intervened and was able to retrieve my mothers remains and secure them in their hands and then provide a very reasonable rate with full transparency. Please call Joanie first when you need the services of a cremation company; they offer great rates and first rate service.”

“Adams was so compassionate in our time of our mother's passing. They understand the difficulties of a family making these arrangements. The thing that really stands out is that at no time did we feel like just a client. They took care of us like family. No one ever thinks of having to use this service until it's thrust upon when you least expect it. I'm so glad we found them. Thank you again for your compassion and professionalism.”
