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.

“Misty at the Longview office, and the staff at Vancouver Granite were excellent to work with in designing the stone for my mom. I appreciate all their work and amazing service. Yes, it did take a little while to complete, but the staff from Vancouver Granite were completely up front about the time frame, and I had no issues with it. Misty sent me a picture after it was installed. It looks great! My experience from beginning to end was excellent. And thank you to Alan at Columbia Funeral Service for the recommendation.”

“The marker is exactly what I hoped - plain but elegant, clearly made of high quality stone with deeply chiseled lettering that will stand the test of time. The staff was great, very patient through my decision making. But the “above and beyond” part was that they came out and professionally installed the marker out in the middle of nowhere, had to drive through a field and everything. Thanks, everyone at Vancouver Granite, for fulfilling my dad’s last wishes.”
— Amanda Meeker
“The folks at Vancouver Granite are very friendly. I give them 5 stars because the tomb stone we ordered is beautiful. I only wish they would say at the time a customer orders a stone that it could potentially take 11 months to get the stone finished and set up. But, knowing this now, I’d definitely use them again.”
