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.

“My dad passing was devastating and having to plan what to do next wasn’t something I expected to have to step up and do for my mom. From the initial contact till the very end I was treated very professionally. My point of contact was with Lauren and she handled everything for me from beginning till end. She was always clear on what she needed from me and how the process was going to go. She went above and beyond for our family, answering texts and emails even when I know she wasn’t at work. She helped get every answer to every question I had. I had the best first time experience doing this and it was all because of her. I am sure that she just represents a great system set in place for the company. I have nothing negative I could say about our experience.”

“This place is awesome. Shannon was so helpful in many ways. He helped write the obituary, the special items suggested and where to go for what and obtained a flag for me because my husband was a veteran. Every detail was taken care of and gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Cremation Society of Virginia.”

“I was very pleased with the services provided to us by Shanon and the team at Cremation Society of VA. We were all shocked by the tragic unexpected death of my husband, and were very concerned with being taken advantage of in our grief, but Shanon was kind and professional in working with us. The services were clearly explained and itemized for us, and we did not feel pressured. During a difficult time, we felt comfortable and supported, and we were provided regular updates.”
