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.

“Amanda at Family Choice Funerals & Cremations handled our father's cremation and paperwork with excellence, compassion and care. She took into consideration we were from out of town to expedite our process for us and we had such peace because she confidently communicated, made arrangements, spoke with us, listened to us about our father and meet our needs allowing for us to focus on our family. Amanda and her team went above and beyond for us even helping us fix an issue with the death certificate. I highly recommend them and we were so grateful for Amanda and her team being there for us during our time difficult time. God bless you.”
