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.

“I went the week after my brother and grandmother had died to pick up my brother’s cremains. My stepfather had given me 16 100 hundred dollar bills to pay for the cremation. My family owed $1,550. The man at the desk said he could not make change. I gave him my credit card. He didn't know how to work the credit card machine. He turned around, laughed, and asked me if I knew how. He acted without compassion or empathy or thought that having to return to the funeral home again was not only inconvenient but made a difficult situation worse.”
