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.

“Waco Memorial made a very difficult experience as peaceful as it could possibly have been. Guillermo Rodriguez was especially attentive and answered all our questions. The graveside service was nice and Waco Memorial even provided blankets for the family which we really appreciated on such a cold blustery day. Thanks so much!”

“My husband and I decided to make future arrangements to make it easier for our families for our final days. Cherie Chaudoin was very helpful, knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable with our decisions. She is very caring and a great listener. We had a great experience and we highly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you for your time, Cherie.”

“My grandparents bought four plots back in the 70s and if they would have known that the lack of care was terrible here, They would have taken their hard earned money elsewhere. So many graves have the flower vases Turned over. I spent an hour sitting vases back on numerous graves. St Matthew statue is leaning , slab coming out of ground. The once Beautiful Fountain pool I remember as a child is now nothing more than a dilapidated trash bin. It’s absolutely sad to see this park in the Condition that it’s in. Someone hit the bricks in front of the pond and it’s still broken. There’s one word for this park . dilapidated. I used to come to the cemetery every weekend with my parents to water the graves and to keep it looking nice And even back then, the maintenance was not really doing Maintenance. And it seems to be a continuing process to this day. I really can’t believe that the property management could let this place go like this.”
