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.

“Doug was a delight to work with. My husband I are only in our 60’s, but having experience with family members dying with and without pre-purchased cremation services, we knew we wanted to make things easy for our children when we passed on. Doug came to our home at the appointed time, made the process easy to understand, listened to our needs and was able to have both our pre planning completed in less than 2 hours. I highly highly recommend Doug. A professional who is personable, knowledgeable, trustworthy and efficient.”
— Louise Thompson
“My husband and I ( Susan) recently met with Doug Ranno at Baldwin Brothers in Winter Park to discuss pre-planning for cremation as part of my cancer journey. Doug guided me through every step with such professionalism, patience, and genuine compassion that my husband-who originally came just to support me-ended up signing up for a pre-planning package as well. It’s rare to meet someone with such a gentle spirit in a moment that can feel overwhelming. We’re truly grateful for the care and clarity Doug provided.”
— Thomas Ganey
“My wife and I had been shopping around for several months for an end of life plan for the both of us. Doug Ranno presented us with serval options that met our desire and needs. Doug was so pleasant and accommodating thoughtful the process. We think we came up with the best plan for us at a reasonable price. Thank you Doug Terry and Rose Rittmeyer”
