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.

“My sister and my father passed years ago and have been with my mother ever since. When we heard of A Journey with Wings, my mother knew it was what she wanted for them and herself. Jamie was amazing and the sight of seeing her fly over was emotional. No better way to see family off! I’d recommend this for everyone! Thank you Jamie!”

“Jamie at A Journey With Wings was so great to work with. I cannot recommend her and her company enough. She went out of her way to help us find the right location to scatter our mom's ashes. We ultimately chose to scatter them over the Santa Monica Mountains, and it was beautiful. Jamie was super helpful in sending us detailed instructions regarding the viewing location and where to park. We communicated frequently leading up to the scattering and the day of via email and phone, and she was always patient and kind. Thank you so much Jamie!”

“Dear Jamie and team: My family and I would like to thank you for your collaboration to make our Pops’ memorial service two weekends ago very memorable. Your services exceeded our expectations – it was a great way to honor my father-in-law’s wishes to have his ashes scattered near the Huntington Beach Pier and have comforting memories now for the years to come with the keepsake video / certificate and remembrance jewelry. Your support the last two months was truly marvelous and so accommodating. It’s been a pleasure to work with you – your stellar cooperation and celebration of life planning skills truly meant a lot to us. And each time we talked, you were so attentive and thorough – always willing to take the time to discuss our concerns and/or respond to my many questions. You went above and beyond to make our event so special. Again, you played an important role in making the day run smoothly and we cherish the considerate kindness you showed throughout the planning process. We highly recommend your services to anyone needing such arrangements in the future. Sincerely, Steve & Jackie Terry”
