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.

“They are the most caring , considerate people I could ever wish for. Losing a loved one is devastating, and having people who truly care help you with preparations to deal with your loved one's Earthly remains makes the whole process a bit less painful. They go out of their way to help in any way they possibly can. I recommend them to everyone.”

“My experience is a very different one to share. On Saturday morning we experienced a sudden loss of our best friend and companion, who was also family to us, our baby boy miniature dachshund, Caesar. He was only 3 and we lost him extremely sudden after the animal hospital couldn’t save him. Through tears and barely able to speak, I called and spoke to Bridget (I hope I have that right) who was working with Heather to see what they could do to help me get our boy a small casket to bury him in since the soonest we could have a pet casket delivered would be Monday and we couldn’t wait that long. She told us to go there and they would have something for us somehow. We got there with our little Caesar boy in arms and the one they had picked out was way too small. Heather left and returned with an actual plastic infant type casket that was absolutely perfect for his long little body. She helped us unwrap him from his blanket and. Lay him down and get him settled. We have pet insurance so they even wrote us a letter and receipt to send the insurance. They were the best and most helpful ever. They made something difficult for us a little better and we are very grateful for them. If they are this way with a pet who is like family, I can only imagine how well they would treat loved ones who are human. Thank you ladies so much for everything!”
