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.

“He was paid promptly, but took over a year and a half to put my Mom's date of death on her tombstone. Had to call him at least 4 times. Gave flimsy excuses of having to "match the font" and the work order must not have printed out. I called again and left a message, but he didn't call back. I called the funeral home and they were gracious and emailed me and Doug at Riverview Monuments. He never emailed me or called, and he never apologized. Cannot recommend due to very poor and uncaring service.”
— Lori Check
“Ordered a headstone for my parents and could not have been more impressed. I spent alot of time with Doug designing the layout and he was gracious enough to let me get it just right. Thanks Doug for your beautiful work and patience!”
— Ashe From Oz (19ashe86)
“Although it took longer than expected, because the stone we ordered could not be located, Doug was fun and easy to work with.”
— Cheryl Frost
