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.

“Cemetery has came along ways. The grass is looking really good Stone are trimmed around as well as all there new trees.”

“My Mom bought her plot years ago. She passed away 2 year’s ago. The grounds were ok at first but this year it is horrible. More weeds than grass and all of it is dead. It looks like she is buried in a field. They appear to make an effort to keep the area closest to the highway sort of green but everything else has been neglected and ignored.”
— Jeannie
