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 little girl died early on a Saturday morning. We called Cherished Furever and Ty came out immediately. he was so kind and treated her body with so much respect and caring. He told me about his dogs and recently losing one. he walked me through all the paperwork and explained what each item was that i could get. there was absolutely zero pressure or selling, just options if i wanted them. the last thing he said before he left was if i needed anything, even if it was just to talk, to call him. then they kept in touch with updates and told me when to come pick her up. her urn is so pretty and the engraving is perfect. the entire process of losing my girl was the most painful thing i've ever gone through but Cherished Furever did everything they could to comfort and take care of the process. there is no business i'd recommend more. they are amazing.”

“Compassionate, gentle, and truly caring. I brought my sweet dog Chester here on Sunday, and during one of the hardest moments of my life, they treated him with so much dignity, kindness, and respect. From the moment I walked in, they spoke softly, gave me time, and never rushed me. They handled everything gently and professionally, and it brought me so much comfort knowing he was cared for with love. Ty was incredibly patient and kind with me, and I truly appreciated the gentle way he helped me through every step. They kept me updated, answered all of my questions, and made a painful experience a little more bearable. His ashes were ready much sooner than I expected, and they treated his remains with the same compassion they showed me. I’m forever grateful for how they helped me through such a heartbreaking day. Thank you for taking care of my baby Chester and for giving me peace of mind during such a devastating loss.”

“Our dog Millie died at around 3:00 AM Saturday morning, which of course was very difficult for us. After seeing the positive reviews of Cherished Furever and their availability on weekends, I decided to call later that morning. Ty answered and from this call to me delivering Millie to them and all the way to us picking up the ashes, the kind, caring and compassionate service I received was way better than I ever imagined! They have to be the best anywhere and I highly recommend!!!”
