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 at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens are really top notch, especially Martha. She went above and beyond to help us with preplanning our funeral needs. We recently moved here from out of state and were having difficulties transferring our preplanned funeral arrangements we had with another cemetery. She was able to reach out to them and get our contracts cancelled with a refund due to us, which enabled us to purchase new preplanned funeral arrangements at Hillcrest. She walked the cemetery grounds and were able to pick two new cemetery plots. You can tell she really cares about the families that come to Hillcrest and is always willing to help. The cemetery grounds seem to be well taken care of and the groundskeepers were out and about taking care of everything on the days we were there. Thanks so much Martha. We really appreciated your help!”

“My daughter has been buried here for almost 10 years now. What used to be a beautiful resting place has turned into an absolute nightmare. Every time I come to visit my daughter and my grandma it gets worse and worse. I have complained every time and have been treated very rudely by the office manager. My complaints don’t seem to matter and things haven’t changed. Today was just awful. The grass looks so bad. There are broken things and garbage all over the place. I hate even coming here anymore. Which is so incredibly sad considering this is where my daughter is. It’s heartbreaking.”

“Lovely place for my loved one... spacious, pretty place with many variety of trees, nice green land, very efficient crew both in the office and out on the grounds. Just let the crew know what ya need, they are so accommodating.”
