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.

“We had a wonderful experience searching the cemetery for my deceased infant brother. The manager Stephanie spent hours helping us, and we ultimately found it! These are great people and the cemetery is beautifully kept. I am deeply grateful for their kindness.”

“We have had an awful experience. My grandmother passed away 10/29/2024. She passed away in Tyler, Tx. Her remains were shipped to Arlington memorial. We had a small private service for her. She wasn’t even there. My mother has brain cancer, she was the closest and last of her siblings and has been stressed every day trying to get her ashes mailed back to Texas. After several attempts to reach out and messages left, she got a call from Stephanie who stated she had been off for three weeks. Was there nobody there to help answer the phone in her absence? I believe they have caller ID and have avoided my mom’s calls. Here it is February 20, 2025. We have yet to receive my grandmothers ashes. Stephanie who works at the cemetery was very rude and snapped at my mom. After all this time she advised my mom to have my grandfathers sister who is 85 and not in very good health go retrieve the ashes. Evidently the company was sold and they don’t hold to their previous owners policy of taking care of their clients. The shipping was supposedly included in the price she paid. This was the hardest thing outside of my mom getting cancer that we’ve been through and can’t even get her home. I would not recommend. At this point we don’t even know if her remains that we’re supposed to be buried next to grandfather have been done. This is such a terrible way to treat somebody’s loved one. I would hope nobody else will ever have to experience this kind of treatment after already trying to mourn the loss of such a beautiful precious woman. My poor mom has waited every day watching out the window waiting for her mother to arrive. It’s just pitiful.”

“When you are dealing with the sudden loss of a family member, it's heartbreaking to make decisions for them they cannot do themselves. It's hard. So having people that understand that and care, really helps. Thank you to the staff there at Arlington for your services.”
