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.

“My family had a very positive experience with Hooper’s Funeral Home from beginning to end. Mr. Johnson was both professional and understanding who supported us in planning the funeral arrangements. We felt secure that our loved one was in good hands because the staff knows the business. The staff was caring and understanding as well as helpful in managing all of the pieces from transporting to the viewing to the services and all of the associated paperwork. Mr. Johnson and his staff are much appreciated by the Black family.”

“In response to the post re: outside casket purchases, we cannot make a family be present at the time of delivery in order for our firm to accept a casket purchased outside of our firm. We do however, suggest that a family representative is present at delivery to inspect and verify the purchase since we are unfamiliar with the family's selection. At Hooper we take no issue for the purchases of outside merchandise and respect the discretion of our clients in making such choices...”
