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.

“John Hahnn was there for our family during a devastating time. I can't say enough about the compassion and professionalism we received. I truly appreciate and trust the care my loved one received from JFR MEMORIAL.”

“No one should pay for cremation. The county does it for free. I did not know this and now we are out $1,300 that we do not have. UPDATE: Response to the owners response. The body does not have to be "abandoned". It only need be told to the county coroner that there is no one to pay for the autopsy. Ashes 100% can be returned to the family. I called them and they confirmed this. The service we received was also terrible. No one on your end knew what they were doing. We had to call and email multiple times to get any responses, and when we finally did get responses, ridiculous errors were repeatedly made. It took over a month to get the ashes. I'm not sure what your definition of "timely" is, but your service was definitely not.”

“JSR Memorial Creation was responsive, professional, and compassionate. My relative passed away at home and, needless to say, it was important for my family and me that their remains could move on to what was next. We also appreciated JSR explaining their process starting with arriving at our home, so that we could make informed decisions about what we wanted to witness.”
