Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

What Families Say
“After loosing our loved one right after the new year, Cremation specialist was fast and efficient with getting our loved one out of the hospital and preparing for his cremation. We received updates along the way throughout the process… highly recommend this company for anyone looking to do a separate celebration of life ceremony at a later date, like we plan on doing. Justice was great and reached out when needed and answered all questions we had during the process”
— Nicole Pascale

“One never wants to have to use these services. The interaction with the company was very good. It's mostly done online although I did have phone conversations with a couple of people. The necessary information was quickly and simply conveyed. The price was far less than funeral homes we called. Cremation Specialist was professional and took care of my husband and the necessary paperwork in a timely manner.”
