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.

“I wanted to take a moment and thank the people at Care Center Cremation and Burial -- especially Brooke who was my principle coordinator. Throughout the process they were genuinely empathetic and accommodating. I expected professionalism; they went beyond. Thus I was confident from the start that my loved one was going to be treated respectfully and with dignity. If you're reading this review, you're likely facing some challenges, and I feel for you.
