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 don’t know how I feel about them! We decided to use them for my brother’s cremation. The initial meeting went ok, I wish the lady would have made more suggestions, maybe she was new. I felt like I was bothering them for information constantly, instead of feeling like I was in the loop. Then came the death certificates. The misspellings were crazy, Campaign for Champaign, your company is in this town..do your job, take a moment and proof-read. They messed up my brother’s birthday also!! Thank you Sunset Funeral home for taking an unexpected, difficult situation, and making it harder!!!”

“At a time when my world was crashing in on me, and I was not sure of myself and needed some direction, Sunset Funeral Home came to my rescue. They made me feel like preparation of my wife’s remains was for a member of their own family. I know that is their job, but they approached it like it was personal. There was no pressure. I was presented with options and left to decide. I really felt like they totally understood and felt my pain. They kept in contact with me even after their.services were complete, making sure I was personally alright. Sunset Funeral Home and Cremation Center is first class, and I most highly recommend it when services such as theirs is needed.”

“We were in need of a funeral home when our loved one unexpectedly passed. My family and I were from out of town so we didn’t have any recommendations, so we googled some places. We saw the reviews for Sunset Funeral home and they stood out, so we decided to call them. From the very first conversation they provided exceptional service. They answered all of our questions and they didn’t pressure us, or make us feel like they just wanted our business. Throughout the process we talked to at least 5 people and every person was so pleasant and helpful. We mainly worked with Jody and Brennan, and even though it was a sad and stressful time, they made sure that every single thing was seamless. They paid attention with every little detail and made sure to communicate with us along the way. We even had to change some things for the service and they were so patient, and they never seemed irritated or frustrated. They were so compassionate and understanding. We are beyond satisfied that we selected Sunset to memorialize our loved one. We shared stories, tears and laughs with them. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you all so much for all your support and for being a light in our difficult time. God guided us to you, and you were such a blessing. We are forever grateful for you! The Haley family.”
