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.

“Our experience with them was not quite terrible but definitely a disappointment. They have the feel of an organization that’s run by private equity and not by individuals. Calls were returned later than promised or not at all until we followed up and whatever they said they were going to do happened days after we were told. Simply put, we always felt like we had to stay on them. This just wasn’t what we needed during this difficult time.”
— Sarah Trillin
“Although my mother had taken care of almost everything ahead of her passing, I had the daunting task of having her transported to Miami and other details to work out. Riverside Gordan and Lena were amazing to work with. They were compassionate and Caring. Their kindness made things so much easier. Thank you”
— Bambi O'Hern
“The facility itself was clean, serene, and appropriately solemn. They offered a variety of service packages and were transparent about pricing, which helped ease some of the logistical stress. Most importantly, they showed genuine respect for our loved one and treated our family with warmth and humanity throughout the entire process.”
— Elisa Gonzalez
