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 did not use this place After today never will Called because they blocked my driveway with their car, on willow ave. For funeral at St Annes cemetery! I called because I am going to work just like they are at work and if i block them cut The line i get ticket!! Someone answered and i was met with THE MT LEBANON/castle shannon entitlement!! That everyone hates and talks about. See 80 percent of this town are renters and other places people respect each other ! We are from these places! So if they treat someone not using them like this , can you trust them? Unreal next time i will call police make a scene etc etc etc Interrupt the funeral , what other course of action do i have ? Sit there honk horn non stop like everyone does in this town!”
