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.

“The lawns are well kept and it looks like a soft green carpet. However, the main entrance on Greenback Lane is a little tricky to navigate because there is little room to slow down before making a right turn into the cemetery. I was afraid the cars behind me were in a hurry to beat the coming traffic lights just before the freeway. A safer way for me is to go past the main entrance and make a right turn at the traffic lights on Verner Ave. Then the back or side entrance would be to the right after the apartment complex. I was there the other day to ask help in finding two Air Force officers that were buried there. I photographed them during the ceremony twenty years ago but I’m afraid the Veterans Memorial side has been improved over the years with more occupants now. I went to the office and they were very gracious and promised to help me with my search by notifying me when they come up with something.”

“The East Lawn in Greenback is a gorgeous garden that was a major draw for us when we bought our family plots. Plus, my husband’s family members are in there. Two weeks ago, on September 19th and 20th , we had the service for my mother. We’re so incredibly grateful to Annie for all her help . She was so supportive, patient, and understanding, even when things got really tough. We appreciate you Annie Bunch! 💕”

“East Lawn is an immaculately kept cemetery. The staff was professional and caring when we requested their services at the time we had to bury my brother. I felt my brother was I. Good hands and he looked so Gael groomed the time of his services. He looked like himself not overly made up with make up. He looked peaceful. Our overall experience, including cost, was excellent.”
