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.

“I was very impressed with the Grace Funeral home! We were treated to high standards! The staff were extremely helpful and assisted us with anything that we needed. I was expecting to use a church for the mass but when I saw the room they had for the mass I knew that was it. There is only one funeral at a time so parking was easy and had no outside noise. It was just our family and friends that made it very intimate. In fact we loved it so much, we decided to place a contract for my husband and myself to be buried there with my parents. I would highly recommend Grace Funeral Home, and St. Lazarus of Bethany Memorial Garden.”

“From the moment I met Katie at Grace Funeral home, I knew this was where services would be held. Her sympathy, sincerity, and genuine care for my loved one was beyond words. I visited other local funeral homes and felt they were “selling death services” with no concern for the loss of the love of my life. Katie was there for me through the entire process, keeping me informed. The kindness of the other staff was commendable as well. They made the Celebration of Life better than I could have imagined.”

“We had my father’s funeral service at Grace Funeral Home last weekend. I rarely do reviews but our experience at Grace under the direction of Katie Farris was incredible. From the first call after my father’s accident they handled every detail with professionalism and empathy. We had to do much of the arrangements from out of town and Katie made it so easy accommodating. The facility is beautiful, the food and drinks during the visitation perfect and the service chapel comfortable and bright. I guess the most impressive part aspect of the the Grace service was how careful and caring they took care of our dad. We never worried about it. If you are looking for a funeral home on the Northshore just go with Grace. Thank you Katie and the entire team for making his farewell special. Blair Parrott”
