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.

“Bernard and his staff at Life Celebration Cremations and Burials handled my mother’s homegoing service with a level of care, compassion, and professionalism that truly exceeded my expectations far beyond measure. During one of the most difficult times in my life, they made everything feel manageable and treated my family with genuine kindness and respect.

“During one of the most difficult seasons our family has ever walked through, this funeral home was truly a God-send. From the very beginning, we felt covered, guided, and cared for with such compassion and grace. We had no idea what steps to take or what was needed, and Mr. Bernard patiently walked us through everything, making what felt overwhelming feel peaceful and seamless. Mr. Bernard’s heart for people truly shows in the way he serves. He answered every question with patience, offered wisdom and reassurance, and even helped us with recommendations for the repast venue and guidance regarding the cemetery. His presence brought calm and clarity during a time of deep grief. Ms. Faye was just as incredible: kind, attentive, and genuinely compassionate. Together, they made us feel supported, seen, and taken care of, not just professionally but personally. The chapel was simple, clean, and beautifully maintained, and everything was organized perfectly. The service flowed smoothly and with dignity, allowing us to focus fully on honoring our loved one and celebrating her home-going. In addition to the exceptional care, their services were very reasonably and competitively priced, which brought peace of mind during a time when so many decisions had to be made. We are truly grateful for the faith, integrity, and excellence shown to our family. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking compassionate care during a home-going service.”
