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.

“Losing a loved one is never easy, but the team at Darling Mouser Funeral Home has been an incredible source of support and compassion during these difficult times. We have entrusted them with several services in the past, including most recently, the passing of my mother. Their professionalism, empathy, and genuine care for families speak volumes about their dedication. From the moment you walk in, they treat you like family, ensuring that every detail is handled with grace and respect. A special thank you to Steven, whose kindness and support have meant so much to me and to so many grieving individuals. His compassion truly stands out. I am beyond grateful for the care and dignity they provided for my mother, and I wholeheartedly recommend Darling Mouser Funeral Home to anyone in need of a team that truly understands and supports families during their most difficult times.

“This is a high-end, upscale establishment that had been operating in Brownsville many years. It has a modern TV screen at the entrance to let you know you have found the right family. It is located on the corner of Palm Blvd. and Monroe St. close to downtown Brownsville and very close to the Mexico Boarder crossing - the locals call “The Oíd Bridge.” Or B&M bridge (which used to be a swing bridge until the 1960’s.”
