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.

“My ~15 year old Mocha passed away, it was suggested I called as they do pet cremation. They answered everything quickly and matter of a fact and made the process straightforward without making it cold and transactional. I know it sounds silly but she was mine and my mom’s dog, then my mom passed away and having Mocha left with me helped a lot so her passing was very emotional. When my husband and I arrived with her to the funeral home they were very nice and directed me where to take her and a lovely man came out and met us took her very gently, what happened next was the PIVOTAL moment where my grief and sadness in goodbye felt validated and respected when I turned to see a paw print cart that they gently placed her box on and together rolled her into the crematorium. “She’s just a dog” but she was my best friend for most of my adolescence and all of my adult life this far and they acknowledge the value of her life so blatantly I can’t put into words what that means to me and my husband. I’ve added a couple of pictures of Mocha just so you can put a furry face to the name. God bless Kyger’s Funeral home and the staff there.”

“At the recommendation of our veterinary practice, we took our sweet cat here after she suddenly passed away. It only took them a couple of business days to cremate her and have her back to us in a temporary urn, along with a certificate of cremation. They were really great and professional, and diligently helped us in-between our crying spells. It only cost $150 for our cat, and they also cremate on a per-animal basis (no batch cremations). I doubt you can find a more affordable way.”
