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 have utilized their services twice; in 2020 to disperse ashes of my father in law and again in 2023 to disperse our son’s ashes. Both times, they provided an exceptional service. From booking staff to boat crew; everyone was so compassionate, professional and keen to assist. Their prices are quite reasonable as compared to other companies in business. We will definitely recommend them to our friends and relatives.”
— Harinder B
“Every person that assisted me, from scheduling to the crew on the boat, was extremely helpful and compassionate. I really appreciate everything they did to make a difficult situation easy and simple. I especially appreciated the Captain holding his hat to his heart while we placed the ashes into the sea. I highly recommend this company!”
— David Fader
“Mom loved the sea and traveled so many places by ship. It was such a beautiful send off...…thank you Polly, Dan and ALL the staff at Harobr Cruise.”
