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 were greeted and worked with someone calling them self Leah. I found Leah to be a completely dishonest and unempithet. She promised that there would be paulbears and there was 1 person. This resulted in disabled men trying to fill in. When confronted with this issue she lied and said they were there. This was a complete lie as I watched the complete transportation process. Also, per the flower shop the boutonniere were delivered, but apparently this business lost or stole the pallbearers boutonniere and they didn't show up until after the funeral. If you like liars then this is the company for you. If you want respect, dignity then I personally recommend spending your money with another company.”

“Awesome services. Reasonably priced. When it comes to legal documents pray they get it right. You may just end up waiting months or longer to get the corrected legal documents. Oh, you might get stuck having to do their job for them. Even tell them how to do their job.”
— Joshua Ramey
