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.

“We want to express our deepest gratitude for everything you did to help us plan our final resting place. Your generosity with the beautiful leis and the personal tour went far beyond anything we could have imagined. You truly blew us away and made us feel like part of your family. A very special thank you to our advisors, Vanessa and Joshua, whose kindness, patience, and heartfelt guidance made this journey so meaningful. Their thoughtfulness and care gave us comfort and reassurance every step of the way. Words can’t fully capture how thankful we are and how much we appreciate your kindness, thoughtfulness, and the time you shared with us. It means the world to us. And though it may sound unusual, we are genuinely excited that we found a place we will be able to call home for our final resting place. From the moment we arrived, we felt embraced with warmth and compassion. The staff’s attention to detail, genuine care, and willingness to go above and beyond made this experience not only comforting but truly memorable. Valley of the Temples is more than a place—it is a sanctuary where love, respect, and tradition are honored in the most beautiful way. We will forever cherish the kindness shown to us and the peace we found here. Thank you, Vanessa and Joshua, and the entire Valley of the Temples team, for making such a profound difference in our lives.”

“I purchased pre-plan end of life contracts for myself and my wife. Mr. Austin Nishina and Mr. J. Dickinson of Valley of the Temples and Diamond Head Cemeteries will provide you, as they did with me, answers to all of the questions, that randomly come up during the application process and also thereafter. I'm very appreciative of their patience and compassion they displayed with me. Thank you Austin and J, sincerely, Guy L. Campbell”
