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.

“Kathy and Curt represent the best in providing funeral/memorial services. They show great sensitivity, working with grieving families, which is why they come so highly recommended. Whether your need is immediate, of if planning for the future, this is an outstanding firm with which to do business.”
— Terry Wall
“I have had several dealings with Curt. He assisted me with the cremation of my mother in Las Vegas. He really cares about the family and the cost involved. I hope I don't need his services again but if I do I know to call South Coast Family Funeral Services.”
— Bobbie Forrester
“If I could give zero stars I would. I called 4 times to start the pre-need process. Gave them 2 email addresses and never received anything. Each time I called they assured me that I would receive the forms. Once I gave up I called another local funeral home and completed the process the same day. Very disappointed with this company”
— Stacey Malone
We file the life insurance claim and recover unclaimed property — the payout can help cover costs like these. $0 upfront.
