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.

“I recently gave birth at the beginning of October. Towards the end of the furst week home with my twins, one of our best friends sent my family flowers from Summit Flower Shop. The delivery came late at night - I didn't know deliveries could still occur after 7pm. The flowers were beautiful and included in the order were white chocolate strawberries from Shari's berries. The flower arrangement was neatly done, delivered well, and arranged as a full bouquet fitted well into the glass vase. Thank you for the smiles that evening, Summit Flower Shop.”

“What a big disappointment. My sister ordered an HGTV woodland mini Christmas tree arrangement, the large size. It cost a fortune and what Summit sent to me was nothing but evergreens, a few shiny ball's and some pine cones. Nothing like the picture of the HGTV woodland tree she ordered. Be careful with 1800flowers. Looks like they cannot deliver what you think you are buying.”

“Do yourself a favor and stay away. I placed an order days ago for flowers to be delivered for Valentine’s Day. They never showed up. I called them a few times the day of. No answer. A day later they asked if I still wanted them and tried to say they tried reaching out to me. It’s just really bad business and if they can’t fulfill the order they should simply not take them. I ordered days in advance too.”
