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.

“This place is perfect for grieving pet parents who are on a budget or low income. Took two of my girls, who were rescue rats, to be cremated here. We were treated with gentleness and compassion as well as our babies. There were also offers of customization with the clay prints, as well as the text of the plaque on their urns. They were also happy to work with us on our limited finances. Very kind, compassionate, and caring people here!”

“I am so happy that we picked Peaceful Paws to take care of our Oliver. They were the kindest people who worked around my schedule to get Oliver there from Oregon. I thought my daughter might want a different urn for Oliver but she absolutely loved the one that they put him in. Thank you guys for doing what you do.”

“i unfortunately had to say goodbye to both of my guinea pigs, peanut and poncho about 5 months apart from each other. peaceful paws made my experience so much easier in such a difficult time. not only did they answer questions i had, but also directly reached out to me when they had any questions or concerns. both my babies are now back together. peaceful paws did an amazing job on both of their footprints and the clay paws. the attention to detail is so beyond words and i appreciate the kindness they have showed me in hard time. thank you so much for helping me through this hard time.”
