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.

“Ordered two leis for my wife's college graduation, including a multicolored haku lei. I was notified on the day of shipping that they would be sending an all white lei instead of the multicolored lei we ordered. They said they did not receive the right flowers from their supplier. No discount or refund was offered. There was not enough time at this point to source leis from another company. I contacted them about the issue as I was disappointed to not receive what I had originally ordered. They offered a 10% discount on the order. It was not a good customer experience and I should not have had to be the one to ask them what they would be willing to do to make it right. I think a more reasonable refund for this type of issue on a $160 order should have been at least 20-25%.”

“Kudos to the staff at Hawaii Lei!! I was able to place a same day order. Picked them up on the way to the airport to give as arrival gifts for relatives. So very happy with how fresh and beautiful they turned out.”

“I recently discovered Hawaii Lei Stand/Beretania florist and have used them several times for mainland shipments. I am local and very picky about the quality of the flowers that I pay for. I am extremely happy with the quality, price and prompt shipment of their bouquets.”
