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.

“John Herron Funeral home did an exceptional job for my great grandmothers funeral. Demetrios Herron is an amazing funeral director, he dealt with our whole family and rolled with all the punches and ups and downs. The whole family, is amazing. Paula his lovely sister did an exceptional job with dressing my grandmother and her hair was done beautifully, her makeup was just right, and even her nails were painted. The whole set up was incredible. I recommend their services a million times over. The day my grandmother died was such a hard day, and two of Demetrios’s sons came to pick up the body, they treated her with so much care, and they didn’t use a body bag, instead they covered her with a quilt. They even hugged us on the way out. I can’t say enough about this whole family, the Herron’s are an incredibly affectionate and caring family, so very respectful, and deserve so much more than a thank you and a google review. Thank you so much for everything! ❤️”

“Recently had my mother’s services at the Herron Home in Bethlehem. I highly recommend them for a funeral. Paula was with me through every step of the way! Answered my texts anytime when I had questions. I picked their funeral home due to the warmth of not only the property, but of the owners personal service..to our wishes.”

“Being in the precarious position of having a terminal illness my family and I decided to make arrangements with Herron Funeral Home. Demetri was incredibly helpful, compassionate, and thorough while guiding us through the process. His advice and anecdotal knowledge of all aspects of the planning process really gave me peace of mind. His sister Paula and sons Connor and Drew, who happened to be on site, gave us a warm empathetic greeting and made us feel welcomed. Beyond the professionalism and dedication, the facility is a spacious architectural marvel that is meticulously maintained, impeccably decorated, and filled with history and nostalgia yet has modern conveniences such as a spotless showroom and a crematorium. The Herrons turned what I imagined to be one of the most difficult days of my life into a seamlessly relieving process; and for that reason I highly recommend them for the care and service I received.”
