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.

“They recently handled the service for my mother. They did an excellent job from start to finish. She looked wonderful. They were very prompt in coming to get her, even though it was late at night. They were very accommodating, friendly, accessible and just a class act from beginning to end. Strongly recommend them.”

“Mr John Collins and associates indeed did a great job. Impressive personalized services for my mother-in-law (+Elena Hernandez+). Great performance in customer satisfaction, all around friendliness & cleanliness in the whole facility. Highly recommendable. (Hey John thanks for the epoxy 😉 a bondable moment with my sandals🤭) Thank you very much for making our grieving so remarkable. Keep up the high standard of services for a practical package cost.”

“John and his wife surpassed all expectations. My family couldn’t be happier with the service and care they provided. The home was modern, clean, and very comfortable. Thank you for giving my family peace of mind during one of the hardest moments of our lives. I know my father would’ve been happy with our choice.”
