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.

“Losing my dad was one of the the hardest thing l've ever been through, but the Cremation Society of Acadiana by Martin & Castille made every step of the process feel a little lighter and a lot more comforting. From the very beginning, their team went above and beyond to care for my family with genuine compassion, grace, and professionalism. What truly sets them apart is that their kindness didn't stop once the arrangements were completed. They've continued to check in with me on meaningful dates - sending me warm, thoughtful text messages on my dad's birthday and the anniversary of his passing. Those unexpected, heartfelt gestures have meant more to me than words can express and have reminded me l'm not alone in my grief. I am forever grateful for the way they honored my dad and supported me throughout this journey. If you're looking for a place that treats your loved one (and your heart) with exceptional care and compassion, I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
