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.

“We talked with Amanda about planning our funerals. She is outstanding! She went through every step and explained everything in a way that we could understand. She was patient, friendly and knowledgeable. Since death and funerals are not easy to talk about, Amanda made it easier.”

“Very courteous took their time with me, knowing it was a hard time for me never made me feel rushed was very friendly felt like family. They took really good care of my mothers. Looks especially when she’s more conservative and they gave gifts that were unexpected for their condolences. They have many options so you don’t feel that you can’t get something done there, as well as their environment was very clean was even better. They had everything done for me. I didn’t have to stress and I cannot say how much that this place was worth going to for your love ones that pass. Financial options are available and enough space to invite a good amount of people. They also did recordings and they did flyers. They handled everything very well and a good manner.”
