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.

“The employees handled my dad with care and dignity. They were kind, courteous, and respectful. They had a special American flag wrap for him at the time of removal because he was a veteran. They explained everything well to my mom and I and weren't at all pushy. Exemplary job. I will definitely trust them with my family members' final care in the future and have already recommended their services. Robin was our funeral director, and she and Kate went above and beyond for us at a very difficult time.”

“Updated: The transportation crew was a third party contractor and has since apologized and made adjustments to the way that they honour the wishes of the people we are caring for. There is a way to honor decedents and a way to follow health conscious and safe protocol. I appreciate James for thinking about the ways that changes could be made and reaching back out to have a conversation about it. Because of that I am adjusting and updating this review. Original Review: Two transportation folks came to our door without calling with an ETA, walked in, didn’t say hello or introduce themselves. Not even a sorry for your loss. When I asked them if they had shoe covers, the woman acted like asked her to do something so out of line. I offered her and her husband disposable shoe covers and they scoffed. I let them know our decedent was shrouded, in a legal manner for WA law and we didn’t need the plastic bag or the quilt. He said, I’ll come in a see the situation. When I agreed and said once more, the decedent was legally covered, he said enough with you people and said we’re sending another team. The woman then scoffed again and accused us of telling her husband how to do his job. I said no mam, I’m just telling you what’s legal. This person can leave here in his shroud, once he’s in your care, you do as your company mandates. 0/10 I would never trust these two to care for a family experiencing a loss. So disappointing.”

“I am a licensed funeral director in the state of WA. When my grandmother passed away in another state THIS is the funeral home i choose to assist. We had my grandmother sent to us from California to be buried with my grandfather at the National Cemetery. Take it from someone that knows... they are the best, they have the CLEANEST sheltering areas (something the public doesnt see) and they will treat you and your family with kindness and respect.”
