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.

“Words can’t express how thankful we are and how much we appreciate the staff and management of Belcrest Memorial park and Mausoleum for the care and personal attention they provided for my aunt’s recent service and interment there. This is the fourth loss in our family in as many years and they have not failed to go above and beyond our expectations and made each experience as easy and smooth as possible. Ty, Kym, Doug, Billy, José and Carson all did their part with professionalism, compassion and individualized attention. The outdoor setting is gorgeous, well manicured and peaceful, and the mausoleum is beautifully maintained. We never felt rushed, and the service and interment went beautifully. Thank you, each one, and God bless you for all you do each day to make a difficult time in a family’s life as pleasant and memorable as possible.”

“Virginia at Belcrest guided our family through the entire process, at a difficult time for us. She was very prompt in responding any questions we had, since this was our first family member that we loose. When we first walked in to Belcrest it felt very peaceful and it looked very well maintained. As soon as we walked in we knew that this was the place we wanted to put our father to rest. Thank you Belcrest staff for all your support in this difficult times.”
