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.

“What a really well taking care of place to call your final resting place. I’ve learned that this isn’t just a place to call your final resting place. It’s actually a place of beauty. The duckpond may actually even have its own name in Google review platform. The keys and the babies are just so fun to watch and it’s really conveniently located. I love the fact that they fly the American flag so high. The amount of well manicured cedar trees. Here is amazing.”

“This is a lovely place. Ducks and geese cohabitate in these waters.”

“We had expert help every step of the way through my aunt's death. I live out of town so many arrangements were handled by phone or email (we had pre-paid and made some decisions before her death). I was informed of every step and was always told what to expect next. Everything that I was told to expect happened in the time promised. The people that I dealt with were professional and compassionate and enabled us to celebrate my aunt, and her life, appropriately. I could not have been more pleased. They made a difficult time bearable and did not add stress to stressful circumstances. The flowers that were part of our package were lovely and added just the right amount of color (and had some orange for my Lady Vols loving aunt).”
