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 have come to know so many people there and I definitely want to speak Highly of the Grounds Supervisor Oscar, He truly cares and since he’s been there already a year he always keeps that place nice and he’s very respectful and always cares about the family’s needs.

“After the sudden passing of my sister Faith, our family has been overwhelmed with stress and grief. The decisions we’ve had to make during this time have been incredibly difficult, but Liz and Elias have made the process as smooth and gentle as it could possibly be under such heartbreaking circumstances. They’ve shown our family and especially Faith, so much support, compassion, and respect. We truly wouldn’t have wanted anyone else by our side. We are eternally grateful. Sadie has been amazing as well. I would highly recommend this memorial park to others in the future. Thank you for the care, dignity, and kindness you show to those who have passed and to the families who love them. It means more than words can express.”
