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.

“I'd give lower if I could. I have NEVER, EVER talked with someone who could be so callous and unsympathetic as the director I spoke to on numerous occasions, including today. Not only does this Funeral " Service " prey amongst the vulnerable and incompetent residents of nursing homes, when asked simple questions about money, services to be rendered, etc.the defensive manner in which he engaged himself is less than desirable and almost slimey like a slithering snake. I'd almost rather my loved one be buried in the backyard! If you want caring, empathetic, compassionate service, I suggest looking elsewhere in the Hazleton area or pray your loved one meets their maker in an other place, town or city, anywhere else than having the final arrangements at Fierro Funeral Services. God bless and I am sorry for your loss. That is probably more than you'll get out of Fierro's.”
