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.

“I’m so blessed to have Angels Cremation handle my mom’s cremation process. Everyone was very friendly, helpful and they care about their clients and family of their loved ones. Everything was fast , and smooth. The person who helped us (Brenda) answered all the questions we had, and she cared deeply I will always be grateful for them and even after my moms passing they still checked in 4 months after to see how we are doing a simple text can come along way. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts my family and myself truly appreciate it dearly. I will ALWAYS recommend this place to family & friends 🙏🙏”

“Angels Cremation Service was recommended by a friend who recently lost her mother, so I decided to use them when my mom passed away in September. I cannot say enough good things about them! Brenda was kind, sincere, and compassionate. She answered all my questions with patience and empathy. My mom's cremains and the death certificates were ready much sooner than anticipated. The facility is beautiful--very clean, fresh, and gives the impression that the proprietors feel a great sense of respect and dignity toward the families who trust them to care for their loved ones. I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone in need of their services. Thank you so much!”

“Everything about the Crematorium is great. I was treated with gentleness and respect after the unexpected passing of my Mom. Their communication is excellent. Whenever I called or emailed, I got a response very quickly. Their prices are very reasonable and they do not try to upsell. They also do their work in a very timely manner. I appreciate them for making this difficult time much easier.”
