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 stopped in today and was greeted by Aaron who asked if I was visiting for a special reason. I told him I was visiting my parents for my mom's birthday. He helped me put a memorial card on the grave and offered to sing Happy Birthday with me. Which was so sweet and so we sang together. Such a sweet personal touch. Thanks again Aaron”

“Honestly very disappointed in the staff and grounds keepers. To anyone who's family members these are I am sorry to see this , but this is fully unacceptable and this is the exact reason people shouldn't be barred in this weather. These people head stones are cracked and some even displaced to the point they where obviously drug across the law and my great grandparents stones alone with the neighborsing ones are now underwater due to their ignorance. . .Unacceptable and you guys should be ashamed of yourself. Respect the dead you where paid to care for!”

“I haven't been down in a year so it's nice to hear the good reviews for the new owners, I also felt the management previously had dropped the ball. My mother's name plate had fallen off as did a few others, when it was re attached to the wall, the plate had epoxy coming out from every side. I demanded it be corrected and they did fix the plate . I'm looking forward to visiting for prayer over mom this Christmas.”
