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.

“Unfortunately, I have had to arrange two different funerals in the last couple of years. One was my son whose funeral was at Bradford O’Keefe, and the other was my fiancé of whom‘s funeral I had here at Riemann’s. I have to say our experience here at Riemann’s was much better than Bradford & all the staff were exceptional all the way around!! Our director Melissa went above and beyond to make sure everything was just the way we wanted it. They really showed how much they cared for our family and for the loved one we lost. Melissa had the greatest patience & was very helpful with us in all our planning & timelines during the process. We have a dog & I was even allotted a private viewing to bring him in so he could see his daddy was gone & didn’t abandon him. It was exceptional to me that Vader was able to go & say his goodbyes. My experience with Riemann’s over Bradford O’Keefe was by far much better overall with everything! I will be using Riemann’s Family Funeral Home for any future funeral needs in the future!”

“Thank you , Riemann’s staff and Jason! When I was at the worst emotional time of my life, the team at Riemann’s lifted me and guided me through every aspect of planning the funeral. Immediately upon the passing of my husband, they were here giving comfort and direction. They were so caring and personal with my family. Thank you again for giving Jimmy a beautiful celebration of life!”
