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.

“Very professional. Quick to return calls and answer questions. They made a very hard thing to go through more bearable, and walked me through every step. Everyone one I spoke to was very kind and empathetic. They are fantastic.”
— Julie Purvis
“When we lost or son unexpectantly we needed a cremation service and had no idea of where to go. We knew we wanted to be local and after some research we found Alpha Omega in Mount Vernon. They were very helpful and respectful of our situation. Everything was handled professionally and in accordance with our expectations - they made it as easy for us as was possible. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.”
— Michael Grove
“Their service was excellent but they were not clear about the overtime charges for pickup. If the pickup is done at home it takes 2 people so the charge is doubled.”
— ED KEMPER
