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.

“On behalf of the Watson family, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Allie Ambrose, the entire Ambrose family, and their staff. During a time of absolute devastation, they guided us with such grace and professionalism. My father always knew he wanted Ambrose Funeral Home to handle his final arrangements, and they helped us honor that wish perfectly. Over the years, they have always treated us like family, and this experience was no different. Thank you for the exceptional care you showed our dad and for walking beside us every step of the way. John Watson”
