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.

“A few days ago, we viewed our very beloved Bronx and kissed him farewell as he went over the rainbow bridge & into the Spirit world. Later that day, we picked him up and brought his urn to rest at peacefully at home with us. The pet manager Evelyn and staff at Tacoma Mausoleum & Mortuary were very informative, kind and made the entire process stress free. We can't thank them enough for what they did for us and do for the general public. I would recommend them to anyone who is seeking or is unsure of what to do for their beloved animal for end of life services. Being able to view the process in it's entirety and pick Bronx up the same day in a beautiful urn is just what I wanted. Thank you Tacoma Mausoleum & Mortuary! We love you Bronx!!”

“We took our beloved pomeranian here to be cremated after her death. I am very happy with the care they provided. They collected noise prints and paw prints, and were timely, professional, and compassionate. They also offer additional services including clay paws and various urn options. Thank you very much for your care and attention to detail. We are very grateful.”

“Our Belgian Malinois passed recently and we utilized their services for cremation. They took nose and paw prints for us. I would have liked the fur clipping but we had mentioned originally that we had taken some fur so I believe there may have been confusion on if we wanted more. However, we received his ashes within about two weeks. I like the box it was placed into and the engraving. It's nice to have our boy back home.”
