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.

“The Smart plan covers everything needed so my family has peace of mind that my wishes are met with little to no effort on their part. The plan is more affordable compared to other businesses that provide similar services. The agent was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. The process to purchase the plan is quick and easy. I would recommend Smart Cremation to anyone considering cremation.”

“My husband, Donald Atkinson died at home under Hospice care on Thanksgiving morning. We had purchased cremation packages through Smart Cremation when he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic cancer in September. They walked me through what the procedure would be when the time came. When he passed, I called the Hospice nurse who came right to the house and pronounced him. She filled out all the proper paperwork for the death certificate. She contacted Smart Cremation and gave them Don's contract number. Within the hour they came and got him. They were very professional and respectful of the situation which I appreciated. Taeya Havens, the funeral director for Don's Cremation contacted me throughout the month to keep me informed of the status of his Cremation, She contacted me the day before I received his ashes to let me know they were on the way. Also was very timely with the death certificates. Not one time during the procedure did I feel neglected or ignored. I was kept up to date the whole time and every time they contacted me, they made sure I was doing OK. I highly recommend Smart Cremation to anyone considering Cremation for themselves or a loved one. You will be handled first class by Taeya Havens and her associates. Sincerely, Sally Atkinson”

“Brittaney helped us transfer cremation services from one crematorium to Simple Cremation when the other went out of service. There was no additional cost involved and the services chosen were the same as we originally had. We were happy that Brittaney was so organized, went through all the paperwork so that we could understand each item involved, and did it with concern for our needs. If the actual cremation service is indeed as Simple as the transfer of services has been, we will have Brittaney with Simple Cremation to thank. She kept it respectfully clear and Simple.”
