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.

“This cemetery used to have a lot of festive decorations. The office was friendly when I drove in when I came to visit. Gardeners aren’t friendly like they use to be. This place was well kept and clean. The water is always shut off. Most of the grass around my families sight are dead to no grass. I decorate every Christmas and go out for my family. And every year good Shepard sent out letters to limit decoration. And why are the flowers that I put out every week, they always end up on the floor? Paid a pricey grave sight and can’t put out small decorations for a celebration. It’s like they don’t want us to bury our families here.”

“I went to this cemetery and found it very peaceful. I would like to be buried in a place like this. The grass was a little overgrown, but to me it looked "wild" and "natural." I know that bothers some people, though. I find it very pretty. I also LOVED that there were so many flowers on the grave stones. It was the flowers and deep green of the trees and grass that caught my attention. Such a beautiful place.”

“The best “neighborhood” for your final home. The same principle in life applies here: it’s always better to have a bad house in a good neighborhood. When I think of the Good Shepherd, the words coming to mine are: spiritual, serene, beautiful, dignified, peaceful, well-maintained. I know now that Good Shepherd is the final resting place for me, my immediate family, as well as many other relatives.”
