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 friend passed away yesterday and I called to understand the process of getting simple cremation as early as possible. In Hindu religion we prefer to do as soon as possible. I was put in touch with guy called Nick (?sp) he was robotic and blurted out like a robot competing for fastest speech I reminded him to slow down and let me take notes to no avail I do not think this man or organization that hires him can provide compassionate or dignified final departure I am waiting to see if his superior can enlighten me any more All I wanted to understand is " If someone dies in hospice and wants earliest simple cremation what steps we need to take? Instead I was given a broken record playing at double speed repeating same words over and over I even pointed out for him to slow down but he was not capable of conversation at normal speed I hate for anyone in time of emotionsl distress to put up with such a crappy service Om shanti shanti shanti”

“Our son was killed by a drunk driver in a horrific automobile accident. Courtney (the funeral director) at Gabriels was kind, caring and so very helpful in getting his body back home to Georgetown. They were patient through a two week wait for the Justice of the Peace to sign off on allowing his cremation to take place. They made it possible for us to have a private family viewing in a respectful manner that helped to give our family closer. When the cremation was complete and we when to retrieve his cremains, they had a private room for us to use. It was beautifully set up with a lace lace covered table and a flickering candle. And they gave us time and privacy for tears and prayers. We are thankful that our pastor recommended Gabriels; they were there in our time of need and we can recommend their services most highly.”
