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.

“We cannot say enough about the professionalism of Louis Memorial and Steve Reiter. This job is not the easiest to do. They are always dealing with grieving families. Steve came in at a time of need and made sure we didn't have to do anything. This unexpected situation was one we never wish upon anyone else. Having Steve there lifted a big weight off of us. He traveled to different places making sure everything went accordingly. He went to the hospital and he came to us at home. He showed compassion as well as friendship. Steve treated us like family. We highly recommend Louis Memorial, and especially Mr. Reiter. Thank you again for making our family feel special.”

“Alana and her staff were compassionate, kind, and extremely helpful during our difficult time. Our family benefited greatly from their professional and personal guidance.”

“I found myself with very limited information about my parent that passed recently. I contacted Louis Memorial to see if they might have any records of any plans that had been arranged several (or many) years ago. I was very lost and didn't know where to begin. A very kind lady found some helpful information that got me in the right direction. I can honestly say that if the compassion this young lady showed me reflects the entire staff, there is every guarantee that I can give, you and your family will be cared for and receive anything you might need during the saddest of times. Thank you Lewis Memorial so much for your assistance through this tough time and I know that you and your staff are doing exactly what the the lord needs of you.”
