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.

“Just had a memorial there and honestly they were nice at first and then started being super rude to us kicking us out because it came to time but didn’t consider and large amount of people that were there. We just lost someone and couldn’t even give us the proper decency to give us time to say goodbye. I don’t know whether it was racism or just not enough enough of sympathy.”
— Vanessa Torres
“Overall good and friendly during the day the only bad thing is that there are no bathrooms besides the main office but once it’s closed that’s it you have to hold it and if you have young children then good luck, I called the after hours inquiring about this and the person who answered on 8/13/25 at 5:31 pm laughed at me when I asked about porta potties that’s why they get a 2 stars”
— Niecy Felix
“Friendly caring staff. Ashes were placed in a nice black box instead of a cardboard box like other places I have dealt with. Thank you for that.”
— Erin Val
