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.

“My father is buried there alongside his parents. I found the staff to be incredibly kind and helpful, especially as I had to make arrangement from overseas. The little chapel is beautiful and the grounds are lovely. Since my family still has quite a few plots left I'm going to rest there as well.”

“A family member passed away 12 years ago and they still have yet to put her death date on her headstone, even after multiple calls. Many of the graves are not legible due to overgrowth of grass and fallen leaves. Many other stones are not flat and you can only see a corner sticking out of the ground. This is a very sad way to see how loved ones are treated as they pass on.”
