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.

“The building is nice, not hug but not tiny. The staff did a good job battling the crazy changes in the temperature outside. The parking sucks; the layout is awful and not clearly marked and it has several small potholes. We didn't not go into the arena for our event. This was the 2nd time we've been to an anime convention in the building and both times were good. The bathrooms are well laid out and kept clean. I wish there were a few more smaller rooms to hold mini events during the main event but it worked out fine.”

“Had a blast. There were thousands of people there for the old fort days rodeo, but to my surprise we didn't have to wait in line very long for our tickets. We even got really good seats. Ticket pricing was on par. It was my little ones first rodeo so naturally we had to get some merchandise and her a new cowgirl hat, and concessions of course. All in all we had a wonderful time. There were a lot venders and a lot of events, and we participated in everything. All the staff that we came in contact with were really friendly and helpful. We had the best time. I highly recommend going to one of the rodeo events if you're in town looking for something fun to do. Sorry about the pictures. I tried to get better ones but was too busy enjoying the show.”

“Went for the rodeo and was a wonderful experience!! It’s always fun to see the livestock and people! Bathrooms were okay….not the greatest but doable. Always expensive but unfortunately that’s where we are at right now economically. Greatest thing is they have two nights of family pricing. Of course during the week but it also is a nice family environment too. Buying tickets in advance is the way to go. There were other entrances to get in, most people went in main entrance so it took a while to get through that line. Not too terribly bad though. Either way, the ticket line isn’t all that bad too but if bought in advance it saves one extra line to stand in.”
