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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“I cannot recommend Lincoln Land Cremation Society enough. During the most difficult time of my life—the loss of my child—I was treated with extraordinary care, compassion, and respect. I truly felt that Sora was also treated with the utmost dignity every step of the way. Because I live out of state, Gena went above and beyond to keep me informed, answer every question, and gently guide me through each part of the process. She held my hand through something no parent should ever have to endure, and I will never forget that kindness. No one ever wants to need services like this, but if you find yourself in that heartbreaking position, I wholeheartedly recommend Lincoln Land for the care of your loved one. Thank you, Gena, for your compassion—for both me and for Sora.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Lincoln Land Cremation Society. From the very first moment, they showed such compassion and professionalism during one of the most difficult times of my life. The young woman who came the night my Dad passed away was so caring, gentle, and respectful—not only toward him, but toward me as well. Her kindness in those first few hours meant more than she’ll ever know. Throughout the entire process, every member of the staff went above and beyond. They personally called to express their condolences, kept me updated at each step, and made sure I never felt alone or unsure about what was happening. Their communication was consistent, clear, and filled with genuine empathy. When I came to pick up my Dad’s ashes, they added a thoughtful personal touch by laminating his obituary for me—something I hadn’t expected but appreciated deeply. It was a small gesture that spoke volumes about the care and compassion they put into their work. Lincoln Land Cremation Society helped me through an incredibly hard moment with grace, dignity, and true kindness. I am forever grateful for everything they did for my family and for me. I highly recommend them to anyone who finds themselves needing these services.”

“We were very happy with the services provided by LLCS, and truly appreciate their help and kindness shown when my mother passed. We had prepaid arrangements set up for Mother and ourselves, and LLCS certainly was very good decision. It is comforting to know that we are in good hands. Gina and everyone at LLCS and at Butler, too, were professional, caring, and so very helpful during this difficult time; and we appreciate their generosity with time and experience in helping us to complete my mother’s last wishes. I recommend LLCS to anyone who is thinking of using their services. Judith Cate”
