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.

“You probably never want to visit a funeral home, especially for a close friend or family member, however if you must choose where to have your loved one's final services, Parkview will do the job professionally, cost effectively, and with dignity and respect. Sadly, our family has had to experience this twice, but both were handled by Brent Francis, the Owner and Funeral Director personally, professionally, and on our preferred schedule. I would recommend Parkview over any other Funeral or Cremation Services I have ever experienced.”

“Parkview funeral home cremated our family's beloved dog, Juggs. Even though we were only able to afford the most basic cremation option, Juggs came home to us in a beautiful wooden box inside an embroidered velvet bag with bookmarks and a prayer card. I have had human family members cremated at other facilities and they were not treated with such care and respect. I had no idea seeing how they treated my dog's remains would mean so much to me and my family. Thank you, Parkview, for your compassion, respect, and sensitivity.”
— Jamie Welebob
