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.

“These are our 4 dogs from the past 30 years. The smallest bag on the right is our 60+ lb bulldog cremated in December 2025. We paid for solo cremation and her ashes were less that our 18 yr old 27lb that past this summer and was cremated at another facility. When i asked where the remains ashes were I got a sassy remark saying that’s everything. I can’t believe a crematory we do anybody like this. Unbelievable!! Don’t take your pet there. Aloha!”

“This is absolutely awful. This is our last paw print of our sweet baby boy we will ever get and trusted the crematorium to do a good job. We paid for solo cremation and paw print and this is what we got back (almost $400). A print that is not centered and very obviously they messed up. It hurts so much that this is what we got back after losing our boy and we can never get another one. I would not suggest this crematorium. Make sure if this is the one your vet uses, to request somewhere else or call another to come pick up your baby. I'm heartbroken over losing him. Then to see this and feel like whoever's care he was in, they did not care for his body like I would have hoped. Awful. I'm heart broken that this place treated my boy like he meant nothing! For reference I added my old dog Maggie's print I got from the place I used in CO. Look at the quality difference and care that was obviously put into hers.”
