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 found this place fabulous! The place is small but offers a great attraction with all the crystals and pieces displayed with fantastic lighting. I really enjoyed it and was surprised that it was free! As a tourist spending time in Memphis, it was really great to have visited this place. I recommend it! 🥰🙏🏻”

“I really enjoyed the Crystal Shrine Grotto itself. It tells the story of the resurrection in a very unique and beautiful way, it looks amazing. The area surrounding was a bit run down, and the cemetery itself isn’t my favorite because there are no cool headstones to look at. We still had a peaceful walk and enjoyed ourselves though.”

“This place is located in a cemetery. It is a man made cave. It is free to go. There is not a lot of parking as parking is on the side of the road inside of the cemetery. The cave depicts the life of Jesus. There is an actual shrine to Jesus as you walk in and people leave money there but if you don’t want to participate in that you don’t have to. You can walk around this small cave and get a glimpse into Jesus’ life. It is a cave and there is no A/C so it is hot in the summer and has an interesting smell. But overall, it’s a great place to go, especially if you are a follower of Jesus. It is super kid friendly and your kid can learn more about Jesus’ life.”
