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.

“Beware. If you purchase from here. You need to put your headstone on your home owners policy! Who knew. I purchased my mother's head stone 7/23/24. I was told only bronze is allowed at mount hope. No problem I paid the $3,837.04. But the problem now is the bronze vase was stolen. And replaced with a plastic vase.Kim whom said she was a very longtime employee never said make sure you contact your insurance company. I know i would have. I have never heard of such a thing. The motto here at Mount Hope is "We are dedicated to providing services that offer comfort and truly honor a special life." When my Aunt went to visit my mother on her birthday and my uncle to find thier graves were vandalized. I don't think this motto was up held. No this is what they heard from the employee They are at it again! Well will call you next week. With no phone call.”
