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 chose Blue Sky because of reviews. Their customer service was outstanding. Made process easy. I am low income and they didn't make me feel that way. Thank you Chelsea and your crew.”

“Blue Sky was excellent from start to finish. I reached out to them when my mom entered hospice care, to learn the basics and get my head around some of the important details. They helped me to pre fill out some of the forms so that I would have one less thing to do later (when I knew that my mind would not have the energy or bandwidth to deal with it).They were very professional and helpful. When my mom passed everything was very easy and calm and I had no additional stress as a result. I was very grateful for their services and how they took care of my mom.”
— Caroline Franco
“The wonderful staff at Blue Sky helped me navigate a very difficult time with compassion and humility. Living in another state I relied on their expertise. Every detail was handled in a timely manner. They were open to all my questions and concerns. They kept me apprised as they prepared the transportation of my loved one's remains. Through the months following, they periodically send emails with information to help navigate this new season of life. I appreciate their genuine compassion.”
