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 highly recommend this family-owned business. From start to finish, the entire staff showed genuine compassion and empathy during such a difficult time. They cared for my father as if he were their own family member, which brought our family great comfort. I am truly grateful to the McKenzie Mortuary team for their kindness and professionalism. A special thank you to Bridget for her thoughtful assistance and clear, consistent communication throughout the process.”

“McKenzie mortuary has been absolutely wonderful to us. I have used their services for my mother and my father. We also used them for my cousin. All three times they helped us immensely.The place is just beautiful inside. And the florist they recommended did the most beautiful job I had ever seen. I highly recommend them”

“I went to McKenzie in Long Beach in search of a mortuary. I had already visited other mortuaries prior to McKenzie. Unfortunately, this place felt and looked very creepy inside. Dark, GHOSTLY AND HAUNTED looking. Definitely not a peaceful serene, tranquil vibe going on here. I could not walk out fast enough. I had to cut the conversation short with person showing me the place. .”
