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.

“Wonderful message each Sunday. Poignant and relatable regarding current events. ALL good, kind people. Beautiful church, ample parking! The church is accepting of anyone wanting to learn about Catholicism. They extend grace and welcome anyone from different religious backgrounds. My husband and I took the adult Catechesis course, while our daughter attended the children's Catechesis, Confession and Baptism path offered for kids. The church is community oriented. Our annual fave is Oktoberfest! We volunteer every year because It is so entertaining and such a good cause! Delicious German food faves, lots of beer choices! (Also - Wine, cider, non-alcoholic, and kid friendly options.)- Highly recommend checking it out September of each year. St. Benedict Church, School, and community are the perfect fit for our family and most likely yours!”

“The church is absolutely stunning and would be a great place of worship, perfect for reflection and prayer.The mass was different from other churches I've been to in the sense of how everything was done at a much slower, relaxed pace.”
— Riya Antony
“Welcoming to new converts. Traditional in outlook with Latin ordinarys, you won't find guitar Masses.”
— Steve Vornov
