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.

“When my husband passed away at only 59, I was not prepared. I didn't know the first thing about planning a funeral. The folks at Christman's took all the time we needed. They explained and helped with every single step. They took care of everything that needed to be arranged from the VA to death certificates to a vehicle transfer paper i would never have had the sense to think of in my grief. They were incredibly accommodating for our family's situation. Everyone was so respectful and helpful. The service was beautiful. The casket was very patriotic and perfect. They even found a guest book that looked like USMC dress blues! Chris looked very peaceful and not all made up... like he was just sleeping peacefully. (I was so relieved!) They even arranged to have a motorcycle hearse brought in when we expressed our idea of giving Chris one last ride! They have followed up since to see how we were doing. I would highly recommend Christman's to handle all of your funeral needs. You and your loved one and your family and friends will be treated with the utmost respect and their prices were very reasonable for the stellar service we got.”

“Planning a funeral for a loved one can be a daunting task at a very difficult time. Everyone’s situation has its own challenges. Greg was very understanding of our needs and patiently explained everything involved in the process. He went above and beyond his responsibilities to answer questions that arose, even after the services were complete. Liza officiated over a beautiful memorial service, as well. I am extremely grateful for everything Christman’s was willing to do to make the need for funeral planning less complicated for the family.”
