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.

“Just want to share my experience about Edmonds. Edmonds Funeral Home has taken care of almost all my family. They go above and beyond to make sure everything is just the way you want it. The staff is totally amazing and so accommodating. From the time you start planning the funeral to the very end they are there for you. They never make you feel rushed and uneasy about anything. I have been very pleased with my experience with Edmonds. Just know they are there for you in your time of need and you can also pre plan for your needs.”
