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 lost my Mom and then my stepdad about a year and a half apart. National Cremation helped me with both of their deaths. They were there with resources and also listened to what I had to say. The lady with my stepdad listened for about 45 minutes of me venting. She didn’t have to do that, but it really made me feel better. These people are compassionate with what they do. I would totally recommend using them.”
