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.

“Beautiful, affordable and very respectful, funeral and cremation services provided by I believe husband and wife . They handled quite a few funeral services for us. You can definitely tell they try to serve the community with dignity and respect.. They did wonderful with my father-in-law’s funeral service when he passed away unexpectedly. They handled his cremation and a small service and even help babies and let us share stories with them..❤️ We since had quite a few services there between family member members and unfortunately younger generation from the neighborhood. Each one was beautiful and Had dignity and were special in their own way. They made everything simple to understand on the process and Pricing. I want to thank them for everything they do for the community and everything they’ve done for us. We were treated wonderfully by them one handling my father-in-law sudden passing and my young cousins service that had quite a crowd.. Thank you”

“Thank you so much to Mr. and Mrs. Deters for handling my mother’s arrangements and service so professionally. As with many families, my mother’s death was unexpected and they worked patiently with us to give my mom what she would’ve wanted. An additional thank you to Elise who was so very kind and accommodating before, during, and after my mom’s service. Furthermore, Mr. and Mrs. Deters called us the day after the funeral to follow-up and check in on us. The kindness, professionalism, and courtesy of everyone was much appreciated and did not go unnoticed. Thank you again.”

“The funeral home is decent as long as you don't have any children to bring with you. Days before the funeral, the director kept suggesting to my mom to find babysitters for all of our families' children if we could. Our whole family was at the funeral so that wasn't possible. The whole time the kids were confined to one room if they got a little rowdy he was upset. I was stared at disapprovingly for changing my daughter's diaper on a couch because there aren't any places to change babies. The other two funeral directors were nice but the main one was rude even to adults and made a comment about my husband's accent and he could tell he wasn't from here. Yes they did a decent service for my aunt but we didn't like how the main guy was rude about us having our kids there. So I would recommend it only if you have no children that will be attending.”
