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 am extremely pleased that I chose Simple Cremation for my mother’s arrangements. Being in Utah while my mother passed away in Memphis made everything much more difficult, but Jennifer at Simple Cremation went above and beyond to help me navigate the legal challenges of establishing next of kin. Her compassion, professionalism, and guidance during such a painful and overwhelming time meant more to me than I can express. I am truly grateful for the care and support I received. Sincerely, LeAnn”

“My mom passed away a month ago, but before that we decided upon SCS to handle her cremation. They were quick, efficient, and were there to answer any and all questions throughout the process. Highly recommend them if you don’t need any special stuff for your loved one’s handling postmortem. I want to extend my thanks to the gentleman who came to retrieve my mother’s body, and Jennifer was wonderful with being able to answer any questions and assist with paperwork.”
