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.

“BEWARE. ZERO STAR FUNERAL HOME I am beyond disgusted with this funeral home. The entire experience was absolutely horrendous. Not only did they bury my loved one’s ashes incorrectly, but when they finally recovered the box, it was damaged terribly. We saw it for ourselves, and to make matters worse, the staff didn’t even seem to care. The lack of respect and professionalism was infuriating. We had to wait weeks to get the ashes, and when we finally did, the box was in terrible condition. We also ordered a necklace, which took forever to arrive and wasn’t even worth the wait. The staff was completely indifferent and unhelpful, offering no compassion during this incredibly difficult time. This place is a disgrace. They should be ashamed of how they treated us. I would never recommend this funeral home to anyone, and I will never return. Avoid them at all costs.”
