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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Beware of Poor Communication and Unscrupulous Practices I recently had the misfortune of dealing with this company during a the most difficult time of our life's , and I regret to say that my experience was utterly disappointing and stressful. While I understand that funeral services can be emotional and challenging, I expect a certain level of professionalism, empathy, and transparency from the companies that provide these services. Unfortunately, they fell short in several critical areas. Firstly, their communication was abysmal. Despite numerous phone calls and emails, they failed to respond promptly or keep me informed about the progress of the services I had requested. This lack of communication led to unnecessary anxiety and uncertainty during an already difficult time. Furthermore, they neglected to provide the necessary paperwork, which caused significant delays and complications. When I inquired about the missing documents, they seemed evasive and uncooperative, leaving me to wonder if they were intentionally withholding information to avoid fulfilling their obligations. What's more, they attempted to cut corners and avoid paying for services that were explicitly promised. They resorted to technical loopholes and fine print to justify their refusal to cover certain expenses, which added insult to injury during an already emotional time. One of the most egregious issues was their failure to disclose limitations in their services. Specifically, they did not clearly state that they do not offer body transfer services to other cities. This omission led to additional stress and financial burdens as I had to scramble to find alternative arrangements. In conclusion, I strongly advise against using repatriacion Latina for your funeral services. Their poor communication, lack of transparency, and unscrupulous practices will only add to your grief and stress during an already difficult time. Seek out a funeral home that prioritizes empathy, professionalism, and integrity.”
