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.

“What I can say about Richie and Trinity Cremation services, they were very compassionate, helpful and understanding of what my sister was requesting for her only child’s passing. His customer service was above and beyond, he communicated very well via text and called with updates which most places most likely wouldn’t do, they would just resort to emails. He was like an angel being able to be there for us when we really needed a quick service. The only place who took our request on a Sunday morning when most places would send us to voicemail or emails. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs communication and someone who would place themselves as part of the family. Thank you for all that you have done 🙏”
