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.

“Well maintained part of the it. Staff is busy all the time but they will be helpful if you are lucky to get the time. Quite and peaceful place.”

“This used to be a beautiful cemetery, green, lush, & lots of "Healthy Trees". A lot of my family is buried over there and it looks like crap, dying grass, weeds growing over the headstones. When I was a kid they used to have a sign out front about the "Golden Rules" and "Perpetual Care". What the heck happened?”
— Paul Gruber
“My mother has been buried there since 1996. Her headstone has been moved numerous times and she is buried backwards. The final straw, her vase was stolen a few years ago and I have to provide “proof” of it being there. There is a large hole where the vase was. We were 15 years old, 9 years old, and 3 years old. And are expected to have proof of something 25 years ago, meanwhile my mother’s file is empty according to their records. I have emailed and called numerous times with no response. If I could I would move my mother. The entire ordeal has been disgusting.”
