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 live in Arkansas. My 27 year old passed in L.A. I was given a list of low cost funeral homes by a medical investigator. After reviewing it I chose clarity due to the best price for cremation . Bailey was wonderful and was very professional and helped me through this easily. I highly recommend clarity. Thankyou for for being such a sweet heart Bailey. God bless you Ms. Bailey. And thank you”

“Clarity Funerals and Cremation took excellent care of my husband after his passing. I was able to make all of the arrangements online and when I had questions, Bailey was a great help and comfort for me. I was kept informed every step of the process via email or phone calls. The cost was why I initially chose Clarity, but after all was said and done the way that they took care of me and my loved one made more of a difference. Thank you Bailey and Clarity Funerals.”

“The one detail I overlooked, knowing that my husband was at the end stage of his life, was where to send him when he passed. I was given a list of funeral homes at the hospital but searching for the right one was daunting. Luckily someone at his assisted living facility recommended Clarity Funerals and Cremation. I did some research and felt comfortable calling them to start the process. I worked with Bailey on our plans for cremation. She kept me informed, answered any question I had and promptly responded to all of my emails. I feel lucky to have landed in their care during this very emotional time.”
