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 highly recommend Grove Memorial Chapel. Monica, the funeral director, was kind, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful during a very difficult time. She handled every detail—from coordinating with the church and ensuring we kept the day we had planned, to arranging transportation from the hospital, cemetery details, and all necessary paperwork. She clearly explained expenses and made the entire process feel manageable. My mother was presented beautifully. Monica did a wonderful job with her hair and makeup and even painted her nails, which meant so much to our family. When I wasn’t able to read the words I had written about my mother, Monica graciously read them for me, which meant more than I can express. She was easy to contact, responsive, and remained available for questions even after everything was completed.”

“My experience with Grove Memorial Chapel was thankfully easy. They were thoughtful, considerate and showed great empathy. I received followup calls and texts to inquire how I was doing and what, if anything, they could do for me. It was a sad time, but it helped that there was somebody that cared. Thank you.”

“When our Mom died, we had her cremated. Grove Memorial could not have been more helpful. I called and spoke to Monica and received an appointment. My brother and I then met with Elizabeth. We discussed what we were looking for and she explained the different options. She was upfront about the cost of everything and she was not pushy about trying to sell anything we didn’t need. This is the second time we’ve used them. The funeral home is outstanding. I have recommended them and will continue to recommend them. Thank you ladies for all your help. Beth Valerio & the family of Sandra Firestone”
