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.

“This is a beautiful cemetery with meticulously maintained grounds. Everything is serene, beautiful ,and amazing—the lakes, chapels, mausoleums, trees, gardens, and monuments. We've been a couple of times, and I know there's still so much more to see.”

“Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum is truly a hidden gem in Cincinnati. With its breathtaking 733 acres of beautifully maintained landscapes, it feels more like a stunning park than a cemetery. The variety of native and exotic plants, including the remarkable State and National Champion Trees, is incredible. The history behind the ‘lawn plan’ concept originated here is fascinating, and it’s easy to see why Spring Grove has become a model for cemetery design across the country. Walking through the grounds, you can’t help but admire the peaceful atmosphere and appreciate the artistry in the landscape. The combination of historic architecture, the Centenarian Collection, and the wide-open green spaces makes it a perfect spot for reflection or simply enjoying nature. This place has a heart and soul, offering visitors a magnificent resting place and a serene escape. Whether you’re a history buff, nature lover, or simply searching for a tranquil experience, I highly recommend a visit .”

“If you are into Cemeteries, historical headstones, want to see some of the most stunning, detailed family plots, crypts and statues...then this is the Cemetery for you. The 3rd largest Cemetery in the United States, you need to dedicate an entire 8 hr or more day to exploring this place. We came back e days in a row for 2 hours each time and I feel like there was so much that we missed. I adore that this is also an Arboretum and that the interesting trees and flowering plants are marked.”
