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.

“Cook Family Funeral Home & Cremation Service was awesome. I was given all of the information I needed to prepare me for what lay ahead. Professional, kind, and insightful. When my aunt passed at 1am or so, they were there right away and draped a flag over her body out of respect and to thank her for her service. I can't recommend Cook Family Home & Cremation Service enough.”

“We had originally made funeral arrangements with another local funeral home in Poulsbo/Bremerton, but when they did not follow through timely with our prepaid arrangements, we felt it was very disrespectful to our family and loved one. We called Cook family funeral home and spoke with Tim. Within a few hours Tim had personally picked up our loved one from the other funeral home and very respectfully handled all the needed arrangements. Our father's death was already such a hard time, Tim stepped in quickly and treated our family and loved one with such dignity and respect it helped with our grief and the healing process. We have since switched our other prepaid burial plans to Cook Family Funeral Home and we hope it will be a long time before his services are needed again but take comfort in the knowledge that when it is, Tim will handle everything with dignity and respect.”

Cook's Family Funeral Home are the friends you need to help guide you through the difficult task of end of Life planning and continual support. Thanks again Tim and Allison”
