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.

“Hello, This message is to Nelson Bruce, the director of Legacy Funeral Homes on 440 E. Klatt Rd. I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for the services he provided for my deceased husband William Perry Tomisser - starting at the St. Innocent Russian Orthodox Cathedral and ending at National Cemetery at Fort Richardson. He was helpful and encouraging, especially when an unexpected delay in church services happened. I am truly and sincerely grateful for his kindness and professionalism. I am very happy for trusting your company. You really provided a sensitive approach and quality care in this sad business, therefore you fulfilled your 5-Star Pledge for the top service!”

“A funeral home is the worst possible place to be unprofessional. They cremated my grandfather without giving us the ability to attend our private viewing, essentially without our consent. We trusted Ken as our funeral director, as well as the funeral home in itself to take care of him and give us the chance to say goodbye one last time. It’s really important to be able to say goodbye and get that final sense of closure. We are all enraged by the lack of communication, and leaving us in the dark like this is absolutely horrifying, especially when you have to choose a funeral home within an hour after the time of death even occurs. Respect is essential during such vulnerable times like these, and my family is enraged, horrified, disgusted, and disappointed.”

“Nelson made everything easy for our dad’s funeral services and his cremation ceremony. We wouldn’t have any one else as our funeral director. Also, Savannah worked diligently right beside Nelson to get everything done for our dad. We truly appreciate you both. Kind Regards, Keneti Tali’s Family”
