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.

“It is a beautiful place. Dad and Grandma are there. It overlooks the high desert and back up to the hills. There is a nice waterfall as you enter. I have seen people taking photos there for different things like graduation. I used the waterfall for practice ling exposure images as I was taking a trip to Portland Oregon to photo the waterfalls. I see lots of families having picnics and enjoying the time with their loved ones. Lots of plot options. Just a beautiful place.”

“The unexpected passing of my mom has been one of the hardest experiences of my life. During such a difficult time, my brothers and I are deeply grateful to Veronica for guiding us with care, patience, and compassion through every step of the process. My mom’s service was truly beautiful and felt just right. The entire staff was kind and comforting, and the setting itself is breathtaking, with peaceful views of the valley and the mountains. We truly believe it was the perfect place for our mom. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

“It used to be a great place when my grandparents were laid to rest. Although the past two have not been good my dad has passed and it has just been nothing but trouble. They switched plots on my mom while she was in grief. Giving her a lesser plot then what was paid for. Then it took a year and a half for a headstone to come in for him. We have never got a headstone before so they mortuary should know these forms inside and out and not put it off. Then the park ran over the new stone and left tire tracks all over it for my mother's first visit. The park apologized and cleaned it for us. The park has fallen into disrepair over the years with the gate and grass patches and puddles from drainage. Making it hard to mourn and visit my loved ones. The park is trying to keep up from what it looks like but it's just sad to see it get the way it has. Let's hope they keep up the fixing and running things better.”
