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.

“Beautiful cemetery. Secluded yet close to downtown Seattle. Visited to see the grave of famous poet Denise Levertov, my favorite. Bruce Lee is also here with a beautiful grave. Parking anywhere inside the cemetery. Nice to walk around and look at all the beautiful gravestones.”

“Very cool experience. We came for my Bruce Lee birthday bash and we're excited to see the respect paid to the man. But I was actually just as moved by Chief Seattle's daughters grave. Also, many of the monuments in this park are massive, I have literally never seen anything like it.”
— Michael Savage
“A very well maintained beautiful cemetery with a lovely view of the water. I went specifically to pay my respects to the late and great actors Bruce Lee and Brandon Lee by leaving them 2 of my favorite comics. Both have been opened my eyes to see life in different ways. Rest In Peace and "be water my friend".”
— Jesse Perez
