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.

“I have worked with Alex on my father and grandfather's monument for the last year. Alex is truly phenomenal to work with! He is the most patient person to work with and he is truly kind. I have made many, many changes to the design of the monuments and Alex was always very helpful in making sure that it was exactly how I had envisioned it. He has a great attention to detail and has kindly corrected the errors for me. He is very upfront about the timelines so that it is no surprise to you. Alex has made my experience wonderful and I would highly recommend using them for your monument needs!”

“Alex was very helpful. We wanted the same stone as a previous family memorial stone. It was unavailable but he found a substitute that looks the same. The memorial stone looks wonderful. Thank you Alex!”
