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.

“Really nice cemetery, church, and mausoleum. All the staff and clergy were exceptional”

“I lost my mom in August 2024 suddenly and unexpectedly. Our family had to scramble to find a funeral home. We made calls to over 10 places in just a few days, and narrowed down our visit to 2. We visited a beautiful and famous cemetery in Kaneohe, but it was too far from our home and the prices were 3x as expensive. When we visited Nu’uanu Memorial Park (based on research and a personal recommendation from a trusted friend), we knew immediately that we’ve found my mom’s final resting place.. the park was beautiful but modest, close to home, prices were reasonable, and the staff are simply amazing.. Not once during our grief did we feel like we were pressured or taken advantage of; in fact, we felt we were actively taken care of. The price felt reasonable, and they kindly gave us quite a few uncharged perks. They made a minor mistake of using a larger, more expensive urn for my mom, but they didn’t charge the difference and I’m not complaining. The engraving and niche markers all look beautiful and of high quality. They have everything you need (chapel, mortuary, chairs for your guests, a place to burn incense, lighters, stands, etc.) They even let people use their own vases for flowers (as an option), and they clean up and tuck it away for you on-site for your future visits. Everything from beginning to end was done so professionally, empathetically, and respectfully. If you are looking for a funeral home that cares, I would look no further.”

“I would like to say thank you to all the employees, especially Robert and Kendra. I took my mom to Samoa recently. I was worried and stressed. However, Nuuanu Mortuary knew what they were doing. From getting the permit, getting my mom's flight, taking mom out from crypt, preparing her for her new casket and transportation were all through them. All I did is pay for the service and pick up my mom from the airport in Samoa. I appreciate all of you. Thank you and God Bless.”
