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.

“Here for the service of another hero. Quite warm and sunny today. The cemetery is easy to walk and if you take your timr, you'll see the names of many heroes. GPS can seem confusing but your first gut tells younot to turn right... but if you shoot past it, another gravel road is ahead.”

“Losing a loved one is an incredibly difficult experience, but having compassionate and understanding people by your side during the aftermath and afterlife planning makes all the difference. My family and I were able to honor my father’s life and service in a truly meaningful and heartfelt way, thanks to Aaron and the entire team at Deschutes Memorial Garden. Their communication was clear and timely, and their genuine compassion and sensitivity provided comfort throughout the entire process. I am deeply grateful for their support during such a challenging time, and I highly recommend Deschutes Memorial Garden to anyone seeking care and respect when saying goodbye to a loved one.”

“Good experience across the services. Difficult times, but Aaron helped to put me at ease. Didn't push or try to move me to a more sentimental ($$$) casket, either. Dad wanted a pine box ($) and that's what he got. Thanks Aaron!”
— Jim Scott
