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.

“I found this cemetery to be well taken care of; perhaps not the best, but well maintained. The lady in the office was super sweet and very helpful. She was able to point me to the very spot my grandparents were buried (a God moment.) the neighborhood surrounding the cemetery is clean and safe; there are 4 more cemeteries within a stones throw. If you have loved ones buried here, please take the time out of your busy day and pay them respect (you wouldn't be here without them!)”

“Christy and the staff were wonderful. My father passed away and I had to make arrangement from out of town. They were so helpful with our request and the service was great. The facility is amazing and historical.”

“Mediocre in care of grounds, service, and results. Nick was very kind and nice to deal with but a question about engraving a headstone was not responded to before another phone call a week later. At our burial the urn did not fit into the vault although the urn company had spoken with them, given them the measurements and assured them it would fit. I understand the employees responsible for that fiasco is no longer there., so some accountability. Question: why would you need to pay for a vault for cremains? Nine months after the burial my mother’s grave had not been filled in and was a sunken hole filled with snow. If Nick had not been so kind and respectful I would have given a worse rating. He says they are trying to make up for neglect by the former owners, so I hope maintenance and service will be getting better.”
