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.

“Today we held a small service for my grandpa which was extremely hard for our family due to the fact he was the main piece to our puzzle. Danielle was absolutely amazing and so comforting to anyone who needed it. She was so kind, loving, and so professional. They did such a good job with getting him ready and he looked so handsome. They went above and beyond for our family and I highly recommend them. Thank you a million times for your grace, understanding and professionalism. God bless you guys!”

“They are great. Danielle at the front desk is absolutely amazing she contacted me immediately to set appointment up for my Mom Anita and was very polite and consoling to me as I navigated through the process. Everyone was super amazing. But Danielle at the front desk made the process so much easier. Thank you!!”

“They allowed an unauthorized person to handle my father's remains. Allowed an extended family member to pay without contacting me first. Had to call and ask the unauthorized person if it was okay if i paid for it. After I had them return payment so I could pay, they tried to double charge me. Quoted me 150.00 to ship my father's remains to Helena then charged me 175.00. The lady at the front with the accent was a lovely person but that place is ridiculous.”
