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.

“It's a cemetery, everyone is dying to get in.... Very clean and well kept. Bathrooms only open during business hours. They have an interactive map online to find your loved ones location.”
— Luis “Mr.Kopriti” Glinos
“So upset and disappointed by how we were treated by Tony. The priest never showed up to the cemetery so we were waiting a long time for him to arrive. He never showed so we had a family member do prayers. Not our fault that priest never showed or that we had a late start. Before we finished we asked if we could sing happy birthday to my grandma(who passed away and it was also her birthday)Tony said we could sing while we were walking to our cars but that we need to leave right away. Everyone was appalled& in disbelief by how rude he was.He was even following family members to their cars telling them to leave. HOW COULD ANYONE TREAT MOURNING FAMILY MEMBERS THIS WAY? We let Tony know that we would be calling management to let them know how he was treating us and he said "please do."Disgusted that this memorial park would have anyone work for them who was not empathetic and considerate to the families”
— Chelsea Smith
“Randy was extremely helpful in taking care of the internment needs of my husband. Very kind.”
