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.

“Christmas wreaths had just been placed and was a very nice touch. As always, the cemetery was very clean and peaceful.”
— Sean Atkeson
“Beautiful cemetery to have as a dignified final resting place. Well-maintained and thought out. The Avenue of Flags is the perfect entryway to the different parts of the cemetery. There is a central area honoring all the service branches. We had a funeral service at one of the shelters; though it was nice, it got very hot on one side. Be prepared for the weather. The sailors performing the honors from flag folding to Taps were impeccable. Depending on circumstances, your funeral service will be different. Regardless of what happens, it will be dignified and fitting to the one being honored.”
— JM Stumpfel
“December 2022 update: Staff continue to go above and beyond! Sage is always kind, caring, and considerate of the families she serves. Staff preforming burials are also always considerably kind and careful when placing loved ones in the forever grave. The cemetery is full of professional staff and are well organized. Grounds are beautifully maintained and everyone was very respectfull.. I photographed at both the main shelter location 2 days ago and again today for another family at a different location. I am here quite often celebrating our nation's veterans and the attention to detail is always the same - immaculate.”
