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 father-in-law was a real character, a true Florida man in every way. He wanted to be buried in a specific military cemetery but in a cardboard box with red wiggler worms thrown in to go back to the earth. The cardboard box didn’t make the cut so we chose a basic cloth coffin. It was so soft and had a subtle floral print. He wanted a proper military send off with the firing squad, he wanted to be buried in his last snarky t-shirt that we had to custom make. And his Filipino wife and family had his travel bag ready and $50 tucked into his pocket. All of these special and odd requests Ron didn’t flinch at and he made it happen. Yes, the worms were a first for him. hahaha He handled everything with calm serenity and the warmest smiles. This process was a first for my wife and I and we couldn’t imagine it going any smoother. Thank you Ron for everything, we are so grateful for your guidance and support. 💓🙏🏻”

“I recently experienced the loss of my mother late on a Thursday night, and Sorensen Funeral Home was able to organize a beautiful memorial service by Saturday afternoon. Nathan, the funeral director, was incredibly helpful and demonstrated exceptional professionalism and compassion throughout the entire process. Our family is deeply grateful for Nathan's support in arranging everything in such a short time. I highly recommend Sorensen Funeral Home for anyone seeking compassionate and efficient service during a difficult time.”
