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.

“The staff (specifically Kathy) were very helpful in finding graves of family members both recently deceased and long dead. We were also given an excellent packet of plot records for the family plot my great-great grandfather had once bought. Everything was well kept except a negligible amount of extra grass in front of my Aunt’s grave (at Oak Grove my great-great grandparents headstone had been completely covered by a bush a required multiple trips to resolve the problem). Very helpful looking to get more records and graves recorded since so few of my family members have profiles on Find A Grave.”

“They need to open on sundays most people work and cannot get there until then that is wrong !!!! All these other cemeteries are open and the office staff is rude !!!!! The cemetery has not been kept up well for years now!!! What did we pay so much money for ?!?!?! Amd why is it everytime i put something at the gravesite it disappears so quickly leave the families stuff alone!!! This is there loved ones and when this is done you make things worse as they are grieving and just a hint grieving is a lifetime!!!! And please replace the office staff they all need to go they are all so rude act like they dont want to help you and you appear to be bothering them!!!”
