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 LOVE this place... It's definitely haunted. The smell of incense comes from NOWHERE around 3am. I stop there every night omw home from work. I thought maybe it was coming from a grave or something, but I talked to one of the workers and he told me there was absolutely nothing there that could have made that smell... He would know; he's been working there for over 2 years... 😳💀👻”

“I was at Mt.SaintMary's Cemetery the day before Memorial Day to put flags on our Veterans graves and I could not believe what a disgrace this cemetery is. Grass was not cut, holes covered with a piece of thin wood and in back of a few graves there is a large hole in the ground where if we were to get more rain 2-3 graves will topped over. And they say this is one of the best kept Catholic Cemetery. Bishop you need to take a ride to see for yourself”
