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 can’t say enough good things about Going Home Cremations. Losing a loved one is never easy, but they made the process feel less overwhelming. From the first phone call, they were kind, patient, and incredibly respectful. They didn’t rush us or push anything—just listened and helped guide us through everything. What really stood out was how personal and compassionate they were. It didn’t feel like a business transaction—it felt like they genuinely cared. They explained all the options clearly, helped us make decisions that felt right for our family, and handled everything with professionalism and warmth. The pricing was fair and transparent, and there were no surprises. We felt supported every step of the way, and that made a huge difference. If you're looking for a cremation service that treats you with dignity and compassion, I highly recommend Going Home Cremations. They helped us honor our loved one in a way that felt peaceful and respectful.”

“I honestly couldn't have made this final arrangement without Faye. My loved had taken a turn for critical suddenly, before I could process that it had become headed to the end of life. I had just flew in hours before because this illness had just happened, I not only was over whelmed by the situation but by all the paper work and decisions the hospital needed. Sarasota staff are amazing people but as all this was going down I had Faye on the phone about his cremation and Faye said Candy I have this I have the information I need I will take care of this , you take care of the loved one. To my shock my loved one had passed with in the hour . I called Faye back to tell her and she said its taken care of he is all set. I can't tell you what a heavy load Faye took from me. The hardest part and in the mist of lloosing a loved one Faye picked up this cross from me not only took care of her end but my end as well. I am truely GREATFUL and BLESSED for her.
