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 recently had a visitation and funeral service for our Mom at L.J. Griffin in Northville and we were so thankful for their guidance and assistance during a difficult time. Beth and the entire staff were caring and very helpful in planning every aspect of the visitation and service, as well as helping with the writing of the obituary and all aspects of planning before & after. They provided much needed support at a difficult time for our family. We would definitely recommend them!”

“I just had the unfortunate responsibility of planning my father’s funeral. We chose LJ Griffin on Northville road and they did a wonderful job. The building itself is a very tidy and bright environment. It gives you a celebratory feeling unlike other dreary and somber funeral homes I visited. Beth Larabee was incredibly helpful and compassionate throughout the process. She was able to carefully work within our budget using no sales tactics, pressure, or upselling whatsoever. The communication was great and the service they provided was wonderful. Larry was also super helpful on the day of the funeral and the food and flowers they provided were fantastic. They did a really great job of helping my family navigate this extremely difficult time in our lives. I could not give them a stronger recommendation. They really did a wonderful job.”
