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.

“Peter and everyone at Pennsylvania Burial Company were extremely helpful, considerate and professional in the planning of the arrangements made for our father. He went above and beyond in ensuring that my mom was okay and that the process went as smoothly as possible on the days of the services, allowing my family to feel that we were in good hands throughout the whole process.”

“I would like to thank Peter and his staff from the Pennsylvania burial company for the excellent job that they did helping us navigate through my mother‘s services. Everything was done professionally with compassionate care and with the guidance of everyone we came in contact with that altogether made my mother‘s service absolutely beautiful, and perfect. I would absolutely recommend Pennsylvania burial to anyone who needs the service”

“As hard as it is writing this review about my twin sister who passed it would’ve been more difficult to deal with if it wasn’t for Pennsylvania Burial, especially Victor Baldi. He is a lifeline in our family for many, many years as our family who passed on their services were only care for by Pennsylvania Burial and that is the only place they will ever be held. From the moment, my husband called Victor regarding my sister‘s passing, not only was he compassionate empathetic, but made sure that everything that needed to be done was going to be done without having to worry and kept us abreast of every single detail. From accommodating those in the family that were saying their goodbyes in the privacy she wish to have, to making sure her Final resting place was seamless during this difficult difficult time. That will always have a special place in our hearts and those that passed on💔”
