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.

“Eugene, Peggy and everyone at Alavon were amazingly caring, patient, and accommodating while managing my mother's final arrangements. They answered all my questions, provided additional clarity as needed, helped with out-of-state arrangements, and made everything extremely easy for me. I can't find words to express how grateful I am at how the folks at Alavon treated me during this painful time. Thank you.”

“We have unfortunately had to lay to rest several family members over the last 3 years BUT I can say that Eugene and Cindy made the process as easy and comforting as possible every step of the way. From handling the legal matters, to assisting in custom keepsakes for us we could not be more grateful to have chosen a company that cares. Their customer service is top tier.”
— Dannie Shields
“Cindy and Eugene are the absolute best people to assist when dealing with the passing of a loved one. We had two back to back this year and they made the process very simple and easy for everyone involved. They made sure all documents were provided as needed and the care they provided during our time of need was above expectations. I wouldn't go anywhere else and have recommended them to everyone I know for pre arrangements to afterwards. They are a god sent to our family. Thank you so much for providing our family with wonderful care and thank you for being there afterwards.”
— Jon Morin
