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.

“My 4 year old and 8 month old recently started at Children of America and I am extremely impressed. My daughter’s teachers are so supportive & welcoming. They really make an effort to ease first day jitters (for both my girls and myself) and facilitate a curriculum that keeps them very engaged throughout the day. My 4 year old comes home every day talking about all she learned and the activities she participated in throughout her day. Since I cannot ask my little one what she did, Children of America provides a daily sheet for every child at the end of the day that includes photos and curriculum standards that they are engaging the children in. This is super beneficial for me because I am able to implement what they are working on at home to reinforce those skills. The director, Heather, as well as the other staff members are very helpful, so welcoming, and kind. Ms. Michelle gave me a tour and answered all my questions & concerns with ease to make me feel so comfortable. And I am so impressed with how quickly the staff responds to emails, messages in the app, etc. This is the third daycare my family has been to and it is my favorite!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If You’re a Parent Looking for Peace of Mind — THIS Is the School You Want. Children of America in Orland Park has truly changed my life and my little one’s life. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. As a first-time mom, especially with a child who was born two months early, I was terrified to trust anyone. We tried two home daycares and I kept hoping maybe that would be “good enough,” but nothing ever felt right. The day I walked into Children of America for my tour… everything changed. I still remember stepping into the classroom and instantly feeling safe. One of the teachers understood my worries without me even having to explain. She shared her own experience and immediately eased my fears. That moment alone told me, “This is the place.” And then I saw the live security cameras — I could literally go home, sit on my couch, turn on a movie, and peek at my baby anytime. The peace that gives a mother is priceless. But what truly sets COA apart is the love and communication. They update me every step of the way. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, playtime, diapers, potty training, naps, learning activities — I always know exactly what’s going on. If he has even a tiny accident, I get an incident report through the app and email immediately. The teachers talk to you, work with you, and truly care. Every single person in that building knows my child. When I walk in, it feels like dropping him off with family. The babies know him, the older kids know him, the staff greets him like he’s one of their own. That warmth is something you cannot fake. My son has grown SO much — socially, emotionally, academically. He has built friendships, learned new skills, and developed confidence that melts my heart. This school didn’t just watch my child… they helped raise him. Children of America has given me something I prayed for: a place where my child is safe, loved, and thriving. If you are a parent searching for a school where your baby will be treated with real love, real attention, and real care — this is the place. I am forever grateful for what COA has done for me and my son. Thank you, Children of America Orland Park, for being the family I didn’t know I needed.”
