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 would like to applaud & thank Aurora Torres & Greg for their very professional & dignified service, concerning the burial of cremated remains of my mother & my sister's ashes. Aurora was very thorough and kind in reviewing our family's needs. And, Greg was very helpful in placing the remains & momentos within the crypt on the day of burial. I know the natural wildlife in our family's opinion truly enhances the location selected within the Garden Of Restful Waters.”

“All the memorabilia left at my dad's grave has been destroyed. And, my mom has no grave marker. I would not recommend this place for your loved ones. I left a garden marker for her grave and they removed it. At least a garden marker showed where she was buried. Now, the grass will grow over her spot and she will have no place to rest in peace. No place for the ones that miss her to visit. Disgusting is all I can say.”
— Jane Graves
“Ms Aurora was very accommodating, informative, pleasant and cheerful to speak with. She has a very good customer service rapport with us”
