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 service, empathy , and thoughtfulness that the team provided us at Sylvan Abbey during our time of loss was absolutely remarkable and gave us so much peace in time of heartache and sadness. They treated us with so much respect and every ask or question we had was met with compassion and kindness. They went above and beyond in every single aspect of process. I can’t imagine what we would have done without them and their guidance. Brooke was exceptionally amazing and my family cannot thank her enough for all she did for my family during our time of loss”

“Our family had an incredible experience with Sylvan Abbey after the death of my father-in-law. Their entire staff helped my mother-in-law and Ray's children through the entire experience with kindness, prompt replies, and following through with every detail before we even realized what was needed. Brooke led the visitation/funeral/burial for our family, and she was wonderful! She was professional and gracious, even calling the day after the burial to check on my mother-in-law. Thank you for everything.”

“My father recently passed, and Amee, Mimi, Brooke, and the entire team at Sylvan Abbey were amazing from start to finish. Everything, and I mean everything, was above and beyond. From picking the cemetery plot (Mimi), to planning the viewing & funeral portion (Amee), to making the slideshow for Dad, to touching base about small details to make sure everything was what we wanted, to stepping in and facilitating everything on the day of (Brooke), it could not have been more seamless and honoring to my Dad. It's never something you want to do, but it was as positive of an experience as it could've been for us as the family. Thank you to all at Sylvan Abbey!”
