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.

“What a disgrace this cemetery has become. This used to be a beautiful cemetery and it has gone down hill for a few years now. I have no idea what happened but I hope new management takes over because its really a shame what this place has become.”

“I went to my parent’s grave in July 2024. I couldn’t find it! Everything was overgrown and because I live out of state I come only once a year. I had to get my bearings and count my steps to where I thought it would be. I got down on my hands and knees and scratched the weeds and dirt to finally reveal their stone. Besides the fact that it was disgraceful, it made me cry. I am so upset of the lack of respect for the loved ones who are buried there. Susan Lacombe”
