Questions to Ask When You Call
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 have used the services of the Cremation Society of Virginia three times. In each case they were amazing. Very professional yet extremely caring and sympathetic. They made a difficult and depressing situation so much easier to navigate. No one is in the proper state of mind when dealing with the loss of a loved one. The last thing you need is to struggle with the remains of your loved one. You want it to proceed with dignity and respect for both the body of the decedent and the law mourning of the loved ones. The Cremation Society does those things and without a draining debt. God bless them all.”
