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.

“At every interaction we had with the Forbis and Dick employees, we felt both we and our loved ones were treated with utmost respect and care. The gentleman who transported my mother from Friends Homes West to the Funeral Home was one of the most respectful men I have ever met. He even asked if my dad was a veteran and draped my mother's body with a flag out of respect for my father's service. I am only sorry I cannot recall his name as I would like to thank him personally,”
