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.

“We are so grateful to After Life Mortuary for the care and compassion they showed our family during such a difficult time. Dana and Madeline were absolutely amazing from beginning to end. They were upfront, honest, and incredibly kind, which gave us so much peace during a very stressful season. My uncle did not have insurance, and they worked with us compassionately, making everything affordable without ever making us feel uncomfortable or pressured. They truly went above and beyond to ensure my uncle’s homegoing was beautiful, dignified, and filled with love. Their professionalism, patience, and genuine care meant more to our family than words can express. I highly recommend After Life Mortuary to anyone in need of compassionate and trustworthy service.”
