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.

“During one of the most difficult times in my life, Arizona Cremation & Burial — and especially Kristie — went far beyond anything I could have expected. From the very beginning, she showed extraordinary compassion, patience, and attention to detail, helping guide my family through arrangements at the National Memorial Cemetery with care and grace. Every step of the process was handled with professionalism and genuine kindness. The viewing of my father was especially meaningful — it was peaceful, personal, and thoughtfully arranged so our immediate family could be together in a comfortable and respectful setting. It brought us a sense of calm and dignity during a time of deep loss. I truly don’t have adequate words to express how grateful I am. Kristie and the entire team took care of details I never could have managed on my own, easing the burden and allowing us to focus on honoring my father and being present with one another. Their service, compassion, and commitment made an incredibly difficult situation far easier and more comforting than I ever thought possible. I will always be thankful for the care they showed my family.”

“If you're shopping around for services, pick this place. Local family owned, very professional, supportive, & understanding. They handle all the hard work of notifying any agencies & filing paperwork for you so you can concentrate on yourself & your loved ones. The only part we had to handle was telling the hospital they had permission to release my mom to these guys. And even with all of that included, their prices are more than reasonable, which helped us a lot because my mom's passing was unexpected & she didn't have insurance. Please do yourself & your family a favor, go to these guys, they'll take very good care of you 🙏”

I just wanted to say thank you!! Of course, I hope you don’t need their services, but if you do, know your loved ones are in good caring hands. ”
