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 just left there from checking on the arrangements my parents made some years ago. Back then the law prohibited prepayment of opening and closing charges. Since then, it was bought and the law changed. However, the new proprietorship almost tripled the opening and closing costs. I asked to talk with the boss. A lady said that she was the boss. I asked why they didn't contact anyone. She said that they put an ad in the newspaper. I responded that nobody reads the newspaper anymore. She actually laughed and said her brother in law does. I was advised to pay now or prices may go up. She actually seemed to be taking pleasure in telling us the bad news. I have updated my review to reflect a rating of 1 after, as requested, contacting management in Grand Rapids. They don't care and exhibit a "laissez-faire" technique when dealing with customers. I DO NOT recommend Restlawn Memorial Gardens, Holland Michigan.”

“My Mom was recently laid to rest here (plots purchased many years earlier). As we were saying goodbye, the two men that would be lowering the casket were just standing there waiting -30 feet away. No privacy, no regard for compassion, no common sense. It was a despicable and disrespectful display of hunan behavior!”

“This cemetery changed hands and doesn’t offer services for families who live too far to have flowers put on loved one’s grave. The previous owners had a service where someone watered the plants and since then my nieces have been devastated that they can’t have flowers there for my brother. Thanks for nothing”
