  • The funeral home must give you a General Price List that is yours to keep, listing every item and service it offers and the cost of each.
  • You may choose direct cremation, which does not require any form of preservation.
  • No state or local law requires a casket for cremation, and a funeral home that offers cremation must tell you alternative containers are available and make them available.
