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.

“My mother recently passed away, and I was referred to Rochester Cremation by the folks at Hildebrandt Hospice Care Center. I cannot stress enough just how patient, compassionate, and helpful Corey was throughout this entire process. If you're reading reviews trying to figure out the right place to call for a loved one --> Contact Rochester Cremation and ask for Corey. I promise you won't regret this decision.”

“Rochester Cremation treated my family with the utmost compassion during our time of grief. Cory was incredibly helpful and compassionate while guiding us through the cremation process. He never rushed us in any decisions, while behind the scenes he was trying to get all arranged as soon as possible while family was still in town. Cory was able to arrange the cremation so our family was able to have a private viewing at the cemetery. We are truly grateful for the care that was taken by Cory and Rochester Cremation.”

“My wife's cancer took her from us in a rapid sequence of setbacks, late this March. What was expected to be hospice-at-home suddenly turned into a few short days at a local hospice facility. The hospice facility staff themselves recommended that I call Scott for our personal and financial circumstances, and it was just another piece of the wonderful treatment we received while in hospice. What I had expected to be a terrifying process became a brief 10 minute telephone call with Scott to set things up. Scott was kind, compassionate, and professional, as I had been told to expect. Ultimately, Andrew from the Henrietta location was the agent who I worked with, and he was outstanding. Sensitive to my own circumstance, he kept our process simple, respectful, and no-nonsense... precisely what was needed for our family. Our family's needs were very simple and straightforward, and I must point out that there was never any sensation of 'up-sell pressure'. Andrew answered every question kindly, and was a blessing to help me through this process. His service was courteous, professional, and thoughtful. There is absolutely zero doubt that, as I consider plans for my own future, I will definitely be reaching back out to Andrew for planning, etc. I certainly recommend to anyone that they contact Scott & Pamela's team at Rochester Cremation, and especially Andrew. After making it through these past few weeks, I am grateful that they made the process simple, respectfully, and financially manageable!”
