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.

“So I decided to do this for my spouse and I because he had cancer of the brain and we had been told it would probably be a year and a half to two years that he would live however he sadly recently passed away. So upon deciding to call The Trident Society I do want to say it was a very good decision to do and little did I know we only have four months after that that he would pass away. But from Tonya, who was the sales girl to Lisa who was incredible at the end wonderful wonderful customer service. I will definitely say hands-down Linda was the best she definitely went over and above, keeping me informed and most helpful of anyone at this company and I appreciate every moment she spent helping me. But don’t take that to mean anyone else didn’t do good as they were all awesome. Usually people wait till the last minute and I’m very thankful I did not. Because they made it stress-free for me. And I highly recommend them. 💕”

“the trident society truly cares about their customers & customer’s loved ones. from the time my beloved brother signed up with trident to picking up his cremains, every detail was handled with care, compassion & extremely professionally. trident made a time of grief easier to manage & walked me through every step with clear instructions of details. i know thinking about final wishes is not a fun detail to navigate, however, trident makes it as easy as possible. because of the excellent service i received, i highly recommend trident society & will be using them for my own planning.”

“Trident recently helped our family with the passing of my elderly father. They were incredibly kind, efficient, thorough in their work process And overall, made the experience as pleasant as possible. Additionally, due to circumstances out of their control, there was a slight delay in the initial process, but to accommodate our family a representative from San Luis Obispo assisted the Sacramento office in getting all of our needs met. They did not have to do that but Kristin was incredible. Thanks to them, All is well. I would recommend using Trident.”
