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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Honestly the only decent person to speak to was the supervisor Mr Diaz. Everyone else is so rude from the front desk to the case worker. If they don't like working with people maybe they should find something else to do. Update- The past 2 years I have had Mr DeLaRosa and I have to say he is very helpful and understanding. Mr DeLaRosa and Mr Diaz both deserve a 5 star for their great communication, helpfulness and the respect they have.”

“I’m LITERALLY only giving a 5 star for Ms. Mercedes Aikens. She’s the best employee I’ve spoken to thus far since I’ve been contacting that office. She works fast and efficiently and you can tell she takes her job seriously. She doesn’t have a nasty attitude either which is a plus 🥰. . I’m so happy she took over the cases at the admissions office because the others didn’t seem to do their job too well (no offense). I don’t leave reviews but her work ethics deserves more than a compliment. I hope she gets a raise , promotion or something. At least great recognition for her work.”

“The customer service representative is a horrible, mean person! extremely rude! not helpful. Only wants you to hang up with no closure. i tried very hard to be nice with her on the phone, but she insisted on speaking harshly and tried to hang up with no information to my questions. m Ms, Mayorca!”
