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.

“Where do I start? 2025 was quite an emotional year for myself and my family. We lost my dad first and then a few months later one of my sisters . Munson Lovetere handled our emotional roller coaster with ease, care and professionalism. I truly felt and still feel that the staff became like family to me. And although it may sound odd to some, I continue to get compliments on how comfortable the services were. You are all so amazing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 🙏”

“The services provided by Lissa and her team made a difficult day much easier to plan and attend. The attention to detail, prompt planning, and professionalism was amazing. I without a doubt recommend Munson Lovetree to anyone looking for a thoughtful and beautiful service.”
— Tracy Elsenboss
“Munson-Lovetere — and Chrissie and Jennifer in particular — were incredibly kind, empathetic, and professional throughout the planning and execution of my father's burial and memorial service. I cannot recommend them more highly. In a time of high stress and emotion, it made all the difference to work with a business that genuinely cares and provides authentic, compassionate support. They were transparent about pricing and sensitive to the fact that this is a deeply vulnerable moment for families. The funeral home itself was impeccable, and the transition from the home to the cemetery was seamless.”
