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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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'm not a person to bash anyone, however I would "NOT" ever use Cremation Services again. Pops passed away January 16th 2025. It is now February 22nd 2026, we have no ashes or death certificates. They refuse to return several phone made to them. They were Johnny on the spot to come and collect the money for the service. I do understand weather had hindered the progress. I'm starting to wonder if they even have the the ashes or the death certificates. Sue made the comment Cremation Services didn't have the money to pay the propane bill. This is a very sorry business. It's time to call the BBB.”

“I guess this is how the world is now a days. My Mother in laws ashes were shipped to us in a reused Amazon box. Not only is this morally wrong but it is very sad for us to receive her ashes in this sort of manner. It doesn't matter how much money we have or don't have this place could have taken a bit more caring approach to our loss. This saddens me to no extent. I hope they don't do this anymore to someone else's family. I work for the post office as a mail carrier and I have delivered many loved ones to their family. Never before in my history of 13 yrs as a carrier have I seen cremated remains shipped this way 😥 I am sure they would not be happy to receive their loved ones arrive in a reused Amazon box .”

“Let me start by saying the staff here is awesome, Mr. Michael took care of us from the beginning to the end. He kept me informed and updated on everything. The whole process was very professional, speedy, and courteous. I would definitely recommend anyone to go to Cremation services for their great service. Not to forget to mention, It is also budget friendly.”
