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.

“We wish to honor our ancestors by washing their headstones when we visit, and Roselawn Memorial Park no longer provides water to assist with this process. The water has been turned off for many years now. Please provide atleast one area in the park where family members can get water when needed. Thank you”

“We were at Roselawn this weekend to clean the markers for Labor Day and remove our flowers. The grass looked terrible. It hasn't been mowed in some time. Grass was covering a lot of the markers. Roselawn was never neglected like this when Jim Stanley owned this cemetery. If your short staffed hire more people. We have all paid for perpetual care. Also shy do the flowers have to be removed before Labor Day?”

“We chose to replace our brother's 78 yr old marker that had tarnished/corroded to what we thought was beyond repair. This was something our mom had wanted to do before her passing but never got around to it. It was time to honor her wishes and get it done. Update: We decided then to attempt to clean it, thinking if it didn't work, we have a new one under contract. Well, with a lot of elbow grease, a Simple Green solution, my husband and my brother got it looking almost like new. (See pictures of before and after) They will need to do one more cleaning and polishing then seal it to stave off tarnishing and corrosion. We ultimately chose to cancel the contract for a new marker in leu of how well the cleaning worked. Stacy, the manager, was very understanding and gracious about it, cancelled our contract and refunded our down payment. If in the future, we ultimately need to replace the marker, our choice of the new one will be held on file, making it easier to replace.”
