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 had seen a dove release several years ago at the funeral of one of our kids friends who had died to soon. It was a beautiful ceremony. The woman that released the doves had said how the group of doves that was released first represented the angels that come to help their new angel home and how they will not leave until he/she is with them. The doves flew around the gravesite while she was explaining how the single dove was representive of the spirit of the person that had passed once that dove was released all the other doves came and enveloped him in the group and they all flew away together. I was very disappointed at the ceremony ( or lack of ) at my husbands funeral. There were no words said, the single dove was released first and immediately flew away. After that the group was released and they also immediately flew away. Needless to say I was disappointed in the "ceremony".”
