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 father's casket sealed and ship to Mexico in 2002 they have no record of any information. I'm very heartbroken that I was never able to say goodbye to my father. He passed away 10 days after my 16th birthday. Now I will be turning 39 this year.Until this day I will never know who paid to have his body ship to Mexico. I will never be able to meet or call my family in Mexico to ask questions.”

“Mary McCree was a nightmare! We didn't receive our loved one's cremains for 7 weeks and then they were in a cardboard box instead of an urn! For weeks she lied to us and avoided us! She was very incompetent with the service and afterwards! After notifying the owner and the board of funeral directors, she was very apologetic for her incompetence! We will not be using this establishment anymore because of her! It's very sad because this was always the place to use for our loved ones, now we're leaning towards Highland Park because they understood and helped us when Mrs. J W Jones did not!”
