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.

“Legacy Funeral Home helped our family plan a full memorial service for my uncle. The staff began by discussing available service packages and explaining every step, including documentation and local regulations. They coordinated transportation for family members, prepared the chapel and reception area, and guided us through the service schedule. After the ceremony, they handled cremation arrangements, provided official certificates, and assisted with any follow-up documentation. Staff communicated clearly at every stage, and the process felt organized and considerate.”
