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 lost my mother in a tragic accident in 2021, my funeral director was very understanding and patient through the whole process from beginning to end. Kaitlynn was my funeral director and I absolutely adored her and the rest of the staff . Everyone was very sweet and not once did I feel rushed or pressured to make quick decisions. Since then my family and I have used Acres West several times and I definitely recommend them as their staff is very caring and understanding. They are willing to answer any questions big or small at any hour . I will forever be thankful to Acres West for helping my family and I through the most difficult times .”
