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.

“DO NOT bury your loved ones here! Just look at the condition of the park. I've been going there since my brother passed away in 1971, and more recently my mother. The family owned business must be keeping the monies in their personal accounts. It's a same the park is so run down. The manager Heather has nothing but excuses and 0 compassion for anyone that has their loved ones buried there. WARNING DO NOT BURY YOUR LOVED ONES THERE! Well I visited the park 12/15/23 and I see nothing changed at all, in fact in looks even worse if that's even possible. Most of the roads are full of sand/mud/dirt. Pond looks like a stagnant cess pool. Observations of just why this place is such a disgrace, most of the workers were riding/sitting/talking, what we in the industry used to refer to as riding the clock. In other words it's not managed at all. AGAIN consider any other park to bury your loved ones. PS At least paint the front gate. Not sure how they are getting 5 star reviews unless done by a BOT. But just drive through the cemetery and you'll conclude with your own judgement that this is a place you had to revisit too talk to your deceased loved ones!”
