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.

“Very kind and efficient service. I live in another state and they made sure the urn arrived as fast as possible, and in a very well protected package. The documentation also arrived very fast. Chuck kept me informed during all the steps of the process.”
— Freny L
“They brought their service to my door and returned my wife''s ashes all in less than a week. That made this most painful time a little less so for me. They kept excellent communication and was most professional. I hope to never have the need again, but if I do, these are the folks I will call.”
— R Cain
