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.

“Some life events are just plain.awkward. Procrastination rules. No trial runs. What is proper language on this? Will i cry? In time the resistance grows and the anxiety also grows. YO! NO! I initiated my plans in 2022 in their prior location. In the past year I've now visited the current location x 2. Once to update the shipping address. The new location is very open and sun lit and welcoming. As soon as you open that door you are in a warm sunny office with huge windows. The staff is so relaxing and offering some water,coffee. Let's go talk in an office. And unless you have complications to be resolved to finish up and sign the documents it's 30,40 minutes in my experience. Plus after deciding on a scattering by them keeping it simple for any family members I delayed the finish. Pondered my issue that I really love trees.Not big on water events. At that time they had authorizations only over water. So I procrastinated. Nothing coming to my brain. I gave up. Decided in person best so I could choose my final cruise seeing all the options. As I explained to them my hold up he turned his computer my way and pointed out the subtitle under Scatterings. It sez to my shock authorizations in the RMNP are now offered. It just began. I bet I laughed at least as hard as he's ever seen if not the most because unknown to him I am returning to live in Denver about mid year THIS year. That's the Interstate to RMNP. IF you have anxiety but also questions suggest you go in to talk. Perfection all the way. About $600 for the scattering at least in this case.FYI.THANKS to my guides in this misadventure turned perfect. And to NCS for their representatives.”

“After losing my wife to ALS recently, my daughter and I contacted NCSJ for information. We were treated with kindness and respect while we weighed our options. We felt very comfortable dealing with Carole and Mary over the phone and later, in the office. They each did a very good job of setting our expectations, and we made the decision to trust the arrangements for wife to them. After all was said and done, my family is very pleased with way things happened. At no time during this process were we surprised. Everything was handled exactly as promised and we were 100% pleased we chose NCSJ to work with at this very difficult time.”

“From having a representative come and discuss arrangements at home for my parents to having cremation done and delivered to my home, everything went smoothly and efficiently. They were compassionate and contacted me later to offer grief services as well. I signed up for my own so my family won't be burdened with making decisions while grieving. Also prepaid means price won't go up in the future. My policy was almost double my parents just 10 yrs ago so am locked in to this price.”
