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 entire staff at Bachman Hebble provided amazing comfort and support during the funeral preparations for our father recently. I appreciated the compassion and patience Josh Faucey showed to my stepmother and to me. I particularly liked how he moved the appointment along at my stepmother's pace, not his agenda. He was astute in providing periods of time where my stepmother and I could discuss choices in private as well as answering our financial questions with frankness and honesty. Not over or underselling, we walked out knowing that the best choices were made with correct and concise information.”
