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.

“The staff at Oak Park Hills Chapel provided caring and timely service of our Mom's remains. They were able to answer all the questions we had about the cremation process our Mom had chosen and helped us figure out our options for an ash scattering family event. The obituary internet site that Oak Park Hills Chapel uses was great - Rex uploaded our text and photo and sent us the live link which we could share with friends and family. Rex, Dan and the rest of the staff were really timely getting us the death certificates and our Mom's ashes. We would definitely recommend Oak Park Hills Chapel. Thanks for your support.”

“I can’t say enough about Oak Park Hills and the care they took of my father. The owner Mark is outstanding and Dan’s the one that drove the hearse to the cemetery and took care of everything at that end. They are very kind and respectful. My father couldn’t receive a better sendoff. He had full military honors at Golden Gate national.”
— Richard Perkins
“All of the people at Oak Park Hills Chapel were kind, efficient, and caring. The decision-making process was clear and effective. They handled movement to the burial site all the way south of San Francisco in a very effective manner. This was the second time we used, Oak Park Hills Chapel, and we’re very glad we did.”
— Richard Ward
