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.

“Trinia and staff were very compassionate, explained and helped during the entire process. She kept me informed the entire time and made the process easy during such a difficult time. I would highly recommend due to pricing and being so caring for our loved one as well as family members while grieving. Thank you so much”

“This operation is seamless, rapid, respectful, reasonably priced, responsive, and kind. Everyone on the phone was very kind and helpful, even in the middle of the night. And Fred and Amir who showed up to physically transport were amazing. Fred in particular was exactly the sort of person you would want in a moment like this. They were dressed in formal wear, were kind and calm and thoughtful, and could not have bern more respectful. I am so grateful this service exists.”

“Very nice, respectful organization. Affordable as well. If it wasn’t for Affordable Cremations I don’t know how we would have been able to care for my father. I’m so relieved they were there in our family’s time of need.”
