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.

“Losing pets is possibly one of the hardest things in the world to deal with. I have used their services a few times now and I'm thankful for them. Prices are very reasonable. The staff is very helpful, empathetic, sympathetic and professional. They treat our lost loved ones with dignity and respect. They make the process very simple as well. In my opinion, there's no other option to consider if you lose a pet.”
