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 cannot recommend Acheson & Graham Garden of Prayer Mortuary highly enough. During such a challenging time when my father passed away, Ryan provided impeccable service that truly stood out. Ryan was incredibly helpful and compassionate, guiding us through every step with genuine care. What we appreciated most was his ability to be appropriately funny when the moment allowed, which brought a much-needed sense of light to the process. He truly made arrangements easy and stress-free. Thank you Ryan for everything you did for me and my family. We appreciate you so much. Thank you for making us laugh and feel comfortable, when we felt like crying. YOU are an AAAMAZING person!!”

“Our experience was so wonderful. We worked with Angie and she made us feel at ease and cared for during such a difficult time. She never made us feel rushed at all and her energy was so comforting. By sharing her personal experience and her professional knowledge of the ins and outs, we left confident that everything was covered and she made sure to help us select the package that was the best price for the service we were looking for. She treated us like we were family. I couldn't have asked for a better person to go through that experience with. Definitely the best experience I've had out of the funerals I've helped set up. They also had the perfect pot of coffee brewed, adding another layer of comfort in this stormy time.”

“This establishment is absolutely appalling. My husband and I just attended a funeral service for his friend, and the staff displayed extreme rudeness and unprofessionalism. Two female employees, in particular, showed remarkable incompetence and a staggering lack of empathy towards the grieving family who had just lost their son. During the rosary prayer at 7:35pm, they abruptly interrupted to inform the family and guests that we needed to expedite the proceedings as the allocated time was up at 8 pm. When a distraught family member assured them we would finish on time, they callously informed us that they needed to initiate cleanup by 7:45pm and that any additional time required would incur an hourly charge. It's astonishing that they would display such a blatant lack of compassion and empathy towards a family in mourning. The entire experience was utterly disgraceful!!! I had to give them 1 star because 0 was not an option!”
