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 mother passed away very quickly. She had never discussed arrangements or life insurance. I was lost and just called Schoedinger as I knew my parents had used them before. In speaking with the representative he suggested Buckeye Cremation. It was the best decision I have made during this process! At the fraction of the cost I received a beautiful urn. The staff even called to check on my family after the urn had been picked up. I would highly recommend Buckeye Cremation and their services!”
— April Noland
“Buckeye Cremation did a wonderful job after the passing of my mother. Holly was very communicative and helped me every step of the way. She even checked up to see how I was holding up after the cremation, to see if I needed help with grieving and provided some resources. Buckeye Cremation was also very kind and filled the urns that I special ordered online.”
— Jaret Reimer
“I received excellent consideration and compassion from people that really care when I needed it for the loss of my wife. Their fees were also at a more affordable alternative to me. I highly recommend Buckeye Cremation! A blessing they were!”
— Daniel Simpson
