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.

“Beautiful chapel, the inside is huge and echo-y, but it's religion neutral, so they can hold events for all religions in it. The did these crazy red lights for homecoming.”

“As a wedding planner in MD Memorial chapel is definitely one of our go-to ceremony spaces. It's flexible and gorgeous and the acoustics in the room are great! Running music in the space is also very easy and they make scheduling a rehearsal easy as well. We do have a few more weddings coming up here and can't wait to come back! Photos by Dotun Ayodeji”
