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.

“Here's my email to the Fullerton Funeral Home. Hi Nina, I just wanted to take a moment and say Thank You so much for the excellent service your company provided my family and me during this very difficult time. From the first conversation with Mr. Robert throughout the services last night, and finally delivering my brother to the cemetery. Every step of the way was handled professionally and with so much care and compassion. I can't thank you and your team enough. Thank you again, Aurelio Viera & family. And by the way, the best rates in town!!”
