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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Horrible maintenance of the graveyard where tomb stones full of mud and crabgrass. When I visited my late brother's grave yesterday, we couldn't find his graves because it was covered with mud and long crabgrass everywhere. It took us long time to find it; then we pulled the weeds and cleaned up the tombstone from muds and dusts. Thank God my BF did carry paper towels and water in his car; otherwise, it would be a big messy clean up project. I couldn't imagine how a three years tomb were being ignored and let it be rotted.”

“Office hours should be included on Google. The daily 8-5 listed is for the cemetery as a whole. We drove hours to come based off of that.”

“Poorly maintained grounds. The gravestones are constantly disturbed with the heavy tractors they use to bury someone else. We have complained to management and they say they'll take care of it but don't. Even if they say they do and do it it's super upsetting to see the grave of our loved one in such condition. It seems I'm not the only one complaining here about the lack of maintenance, hopeful this review helps upper management to reevaluate their current staff and perhaps hire someone that can truly manage this cemetery better. To the grave diggers: show some respect for the other people already interred there and don't make such a mess.”
