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 Companah because of the process they use for cremation. My precious baby passed away February 21. When I made my initial call to Companah I was distraught to say the least. I spoke with Sean and he could not have been kinder. He was very professional in explaining the process of cremation used. Sean was so kind compassionate and such a caring person that at the end of the phone call I felt more at peace with my decision. Buddy, The courier if you will, met us at the vet to pick up my precious Duchess. I was literally falling apart but he gave me the time to say goodbye to my baby. There are no words explain how kind he was that day. Lastly I want to thank Shannon and her husband ( the owners) for helping me choose the memorials for Duchess. The urn is beautiful and has her name engraved on the front. The clay paw prints and the fur clippings are all I have left of her. My heart is still broken but I want Companah And each and every person involved throughout this process to know how much I appreciate your gentleness with my sweet Duchess. Thank you for preserving her memories and your endearing kindness through this difficult journey. Deborah Gauldin”

“Over the course of the last 10 years, my buddy Roscoe and I had gone through some fairly difficult times together. With the reality of our separation inevitable, I sought out the best method to both honor and preserve all that he had become as a loyal friend and the best dog a guy could've wanted. That led me to the fine folks at Companah. Words can hardly express how grateful I am for their compassion, their attentiveness, and their obvious expressions of concern that my pet was being handled in all the ways that I had wanted. I take comfort knowing that where ever my future travels take me, Roscoe will be able to go along for the ride.”

“Companah was a lifesaver when we unexpectedly lost our 12 year old golden right after Christmas. The staff at Companah made the process so easy and they communicated such compassion to us. During a dark time for our family, Companah was a bright light. Highly recommend!”
