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.

“Super impressed with everything accord helped me with. Ryan was so kind and helpful during this hard time in our family. Always willing to help with any questions or concerns and is upfront and honest about prices. If you want service that is more personal and well thought out I highly recommend this team. As someone who has worked with large mortuaries like rose hills this was such a refreshing change to end of life arrangements. I highly recommend Accord cremation & burial to anyone going though the loss of a love one.”

“I was referred to Accord by my mother who used their cremation services for my grandfather just two months prior. I was relieved that they were so affordable. Ryan helped me and was very personable. I was able to complete the required paperwork by fax since I live in Northern CA. I felt confident that everything would go smoothly and I would have my father's cremains on time for his service and they did not let me down. I ordered several personalized urns and keepsakes. All of them were beautiful and everything arrived as expected. I would not hesitate to use their services for your loved one.”

“We had an excellent experience with Accord burial and cremation. My husband’s mother was on hospice a short time before she passed but made it clear that she wanted “simple”. My husband had the time to research and make burial arrangements prior to her death. Initially, he was appalled at the costs charged by most mortuaries and their associated burial fees. He was pleasantly surprised to find that Accord offered the same services, the same options, the same support as high cost mortuaries but with much more reasonable costs. Although everyone was aware of my husband’s mother’s impending death, everything was still highly emotionally charged when she passed. Ryan helped immensely by taking charge. Ryan made all arrangements for the family from the beginning to the end for with kindness, compassion and consideration. He took the time to explain all the details with great patience and empathy. Ryan is a total professional and helped during a stressful time. My husband felt very comfortable entrusting all the details of his mother’s burial with Ryan. Ryan made a huge impression on all who attended the graveside service with his professional presence and concern that everything went according to the wishes of the family. Accord is a great company and we highly recommend them.”
