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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 have been doing business with Crescent Memorial for many years. They carry a beautiful line of ArtGlass and LifePrint jewelry. I am honored to share these quality products with the families that we service where I work. I personally own a piece of the LifePrint jewelry that I wear on a daily basis. It truly is a unique piece that I find as a comforting way of keeping my son with me after his passing. They worked with me to ensure that I was able to get both his best fingerprint AND his personal handwriting on this special piece. It has become so special to me that I do not leave my house without it. I loved mine so much that I had more pieces made for the rest of the family so that they too can treasure a special memory for years to come. I love showing families how Crescent allows us to customize each item either jewelry or urns to fit your ideal design and layout. Shipping is always prompt and sent securely packaged with tracking information and carrier information. Essence, T Rodgers, Ebonie, Alexis and Deiddrea - thank you! These ladies have all been such a joy to work with when calling or emailing over orders and answering questions. Timely responses, friendly and eager to assist us when we reach out. I fully trust this company when placing my orders that I will not only receive a quality item but that they will back the items that they sell if there was ever an issue. Love that they offer a digital catalog as well that you can share with families via email too. This makes it easy when dealing with families handling arrangements for their loved one from afar. So many options to choose from such as wood, metal, marble, resin and something to fit every style and decor from classic to modern. So many stock engraving options as well. They offer so many more choices than the average funeral merchandise companies you can find on the internet with much better quality too. If you're going to spend the money on a memorial piece make sure you get the best option for your money, something that will last you for many years to come.”

“I just received my infused glass pendant yesterday in the mail. It's perfect and captures my dad's ashes in the most beautiful way. It's perfect for the beach and that's where I intend to take it; one of my dad's favorite places ❤️”
