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.

“Jensen Funeral & Cremation LLC recently provided guidance and support to my family in planning and carrying out a funeral service. I had accessed their web site when my husband first became seriously ill. The form regarding prior to death wishes and decisions was very helpful and eased the process of addressing necessary topics. Tim and James were organized and patient as we finalized the service. A couple of major roadblocks needed to be delt with, (no fault of Jensen's ) but Tim & James were supportive in resolving the issue and administering a memorable service.”

“Thank you to Jensen Funeral and Cremation for handling the funeral for our loved one. The number of people we anticipated to attend the visitation and services far exceeded the number of people we planned for. You handled the large volume seamlessly. We also appreciated your delivery of flowers and cards to our home immediately following the services, so we didn't need to worry about that aspect. Thank you again for your help during a difficult time.”

“I sincerely wish there were 10 stars instead of 5! What a blessing to have Jensen Funeral & Cremation in our community and lives. When you are struggling with the loss of a loved one and are given compassion, understanding and kindness in making those final arrangements, it truly is a gift. Tim & James did an incredible job in honoring the memory of my mom! I'm so grateful and thankful for everything they have done for my family over the years. From losing my dad in 1994 to my mom on November 23rd of this year ( and many loved one's in between), I will forever be appreciative to them for their services! God bless them for doing what they do.”
