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.

“Went with our kids 3 and 5 to pick a tree. Man working outside was super sweet to us and our children, let them play around and helped us when we were ready. He was so appreciative of our business. Great place. Go support them if you can.”

“Kurt and his team were amazing to work with. I gave him a photo of my vision and he brought it to life!! Every flower, stem, and leaf was in perfect condition. Day of my event we had a rain issue and the entire event was moved inside and we had to add several tables which involved needed several more arrangement. Kurt without any hesitation accommodated my needs and delivered even more gorgeous arrangements to my event on a very narrow time crunch. Cannot recommend them enough for any of your floral needs!”

“This is a professional nursery with beautiful plants and flowers at Walmart prices. Their specialty is decorative plants and they deliver. I noticed a few herb plants but not any vegetable plants which is ok. They know what they are doing. It was a joy to visit.”
