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.

“If I could give 10 stars, I would.. it goes without saying no one really wants to be in a place where they need to work with a funeral home, but I am truly thankful I chose Kurtz when my father passed away. Jayme was an absolute pleasure to work with- he was friendly, down to earth and just all around the perfect person for this job. I brought everything in and they had it all set up exactly how I envisioned. Also just a beautiful establishment with plenty of room for a larger crowd. Thank you Jayme and the entire Kurtz team for all of your help celebrating my dad’s life ❤️🩹”

“My dads services were held here, I felt their prices were very reasonable, and everything was way better than I expected for it being a funeral and all. The staff will answer emails as well as fix issues in just minutes. My dad looked exactly how he did alive, and they accommodated everything he asked for when he passed including letting his dog in to see him and say goodbye. Very glad I came to them.”
