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.

“If I could give them ZERO stars I would..I have had the displeasure of experiencing their work on two family members..Horrible work they didn’t even look like themselves..I don’t know what their deal is with the white church gloves but it really needs to STOP!! The Passaic location is a JOKE!! No parking..Funeral home is a closet on the corner..U have to park 10 blocks away only to walk a country mile to attend the service of a loved one..This is the best that can be done for All the Black People that made that funeral home a success?? That’s the thanks they get?? Disgraceful..I wouldn’t send my cat there and that’s the truth..If they were the only place in town I would request to buried at the foot of a pine tree..”
