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 worked with Restlawn after the deaths of both of my parents. I met with them 2 years before to make their final arrangements. When the time came they carried out all our wishes with kindness and compassion. I have 5 family members buried there.”

“So my sister passed away on January 28 Marlene Lu. This funeral home is so cold and doesn’t care they have blocked me and my brother who is a minister and they refuse to tell us anything. I never ask. I just wanted to know where she was buried there. They refused to tell me anything and I will tell you I have never found a funeral home that is more cold and disc caring It’s too bad that they have to rely on a bunch of cold hearted kids and other family members who don’t pray and take it out on us too, but I know one thing my sister is in heaven, so I’m not gonna worry about it, but I really think for anybody Considering this funeral home, I think you need to think about it because I have never seen more rude and dishonest people in my entire life, but God bless my sister”
