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.

“Sarah and Elizabeth from Neptune Society were so kind, helpful, and very efficient during a time when it meant the most. Sarah guided us through the process the whole way. It was nice during this difficult time to have someone there who made sure everything was taken care of it was one less thing we had to worry about. They have been so kind to reach out and check on us to make sure we were doing ok even after my moms memorial service I highly recommend their services”
