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.

“Everything was handled very well for my father. There was constant communication on where we were with his cremation. The mallard urn turned out beautifully and is so fitting for my father. The flag for his military service was handled with great care. When I picked everything up, Abby was so amazing, kind and helped me to my car. The whole process was a five star experience. Thank you for everything you done.”

“My family and I had a truly positive experience with Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care during the difficult time after my grandfather passed away. It was the first time I had ever been involved in planning or making arrangements, and they made the entire process so much easier to navigate. Abby was absolutely wonderful to work with. She guided us through every step with patience, kindness, and genuine compassion. She handled every detail and made sure nothing was overlooked. Anytime we wanted to add something or make a change, Abby went the extra mile to accommodate us and make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. The entire staff was professional, caring, and sympathetic from start to finish. The parlor itself was also very nice and clean, which helped create a peaceful and respectful environment for our family and friends. I truly can’t think of a single thing I would change about our experience. I’m incredibly grateful to Abby and the entire team for their care and support during such a hard time.”

“Losing my aunt was one of the most painful experiences our family has ever faced, and I truly cannot express enough gratitude for Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care. From the very first phone call, Danielle was incredible. I was overwhelmed and just trying to gather information, and she met me with such patience, clarity, and genuine kindness. She never rushed me, answered every question thoroughly, and immediately made me feel like we were in caring, capable hands. In that initial moment of shock and grief, her warmth made all the difference. Stephanie then walked alongside our family through every detail of the planning process, and she was nothing short of extraordinary. Accommodating does not even begin to cover it. She was compassionate, responsive, and truly available for anything we needed, even answering late night emails the day before the funeral. During a time that felt impossibly heavy, she made everything feel seamless and manageable. You could feel that she genuinely cared about honoring my aunt and helping our family. The facility itself is absolutely stunning. It is modern, elegant, and beautiful while still feeling warm and inviting. It created such a peaceful space for our family and friends to gather. And the care they took in preparing my aunt was remarkable. I do not say this lightly. She looked incredible: truly looked like she was peacefully sleeping. The attention to detail and the talent involved in her preparation were so apparent. It brought our family immense comfort to see her looking so much like herself. Jackie was present during the viewing, and her presence was another gift. She was warm, gentle, and so attentive. She quietly anticipated needs and offered comfort without ever being intrusive. It felt like every single person there understood the sacredness of the moment. This is, of course, a service you don’t look forward to using again, but when that time comes, Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care will be our first call over and over again. I cannot imagine trusting anyone else with something so important. They turned one of the hardest seasons of our lives into an experience marked by compassion, professionalism, beauty, and grace. We are forever grateful.”
