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.

“Went there to make pre arrangements last week. Spoke to Holly who needs an attitude adjustment. She kept trying to get us to take a package deal. There were things in the package that we didn't want. Asked her to itemize what we wanted and she kept saying it was going to be a lot more if we itemized. I asked her to humor me and itemize anyway. She asked if I was on hospice. I said no and what does that have to do with anything? She said it did as she stormed out of the room. A nice man, Scott, showed up and itemized what I wanted. It ended up being $155 cheaper than the package. Needless to say but they are not getting our business because of the attitude we got from Holly!”

“It is not an easy task to arrange any services for a loved one, this one especially hit me hard. However, the compassion and care given to me by Lee was warming and brought comfort. I would like to thank Kutis for offering the kind services for babies and how much this means to my family, thank you.”

“My mom just passed away and Kutis was great. They explained the whole burial plan and did not try to upsell. Thank you Kutis you made a tough time a little more bearable!”
