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.

“Years ago' when we came to Visit my Husbands' Grandfathers Grave, Dixion Brown Penick, it took the office Staff over, 3 hours to find the plot where he was burried and so We drove all the back to the big wall next to the freeway overpass, where all the older, often with wooden crosses, cracked headstones, much smaller than those near the front. But What did we find? A patch of green grass like in your front yard. After pondering, we naturally assumed and came to the final conclusion that there was No Headstone. The Man that mapped out the State Capital of Texas.....had no headstone.. My Husband's Grandfather, Dixon Brown Penick, cousin of the Late Great Tennis Teacher and Instructor, Mr. Harvey Penick. Please considering funding to: Dixon Brown Penick, A Family Haratige Help Fund DBP, the Man who mapped Early Austin 1925 Special Thanks to Austin Memorial Park Cemetary”

“Why did my grandparents headstones from the '70's end up face down? AMP wants $200 each to reset and won't simply flip it over. Since we no longer have family in Austin I guess it will be like this for eternity.”
