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.

“Newcomer Cremations, Funerals & Receptions – Northwest Columbus Chapel The staff at this location were incredibly kind, caring, and accommodating during one of the most difficult times of my life. My brothers and I met with Adam, the funeral director, just a few days after my dad passed away. Despite the short notice, Adam and his team prepared everything beautifully. We met with him on Wednesday, and by Friday the family viewing was arranged, followed by the cremation. Every member of the staff was compassionate, professional, and attentive to every detail. Everything was handled with the highest quality and with sensitivity toward grieving families. My family has trusted Newcomer for over 20 years, using both the Dublin Granville Road location and the cremation center in Grove City. However, I can say with certainty that the Northwest Chapel is the best. Being able to move directly from the viewing room to the cremation room—without having to travel across the city—was such comfort during a difficult time. I also greatly appreciated how Adam was always available to answer my questions, even over the phone, as this was my first time planning arrangements of this kind. He and his team truly went above and beyond to take care of both my father and our family. I highly recommend the Northwest Columbus Chapel. If you’re looking for a team that will treat your loved one with dignity and provide comfort and support to your family, Adam and his staff are outstanding. Thanks, Kevin H”
