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.

“John is a blessing to my family. Since the death of our beloved family member, John has walked us through the process of how to proceed with end of life decisions. Whether the death of a loved one comes unexpectedly or we know that death will happen in the near future, it's always hard to handle all the things that must be taken care of. In our situation, being out of state, John handled things for us and was always available to answer our questions. He was kind and patient with us. Thank you John for guiding us through this tough time.”

“Anthony Bernardi’s attention to detail, guidance, and support helped us to honor our mother in the best possible way. The professionalism and empathy from those connected to the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home is what our family needed and was very much appreciated.”

“I think this is a wonderful funeral home and have been a great part of the community. I love how much this funeral home has helped people I have known over the years with their loved one's final arrangements. This is why I wanted my mother to discuss her arrangements. However, I do not care how nice you are, I do not think it is ok for your representatives to lie to people. It is not a federal law nor is it a law at all in WV that you have to be embalmed, whether having visitation or not. There is no law, and I am tempted to contact the FTC for this lie because it is wrong and you know it. It is fine if that is your facilities rules or standards, but it is not a law and you should quit lying to your (mostly elderly) customers. I do not need policy explanations. The FTC clearly states that it is illegal to tell customers that it is a law to be embalmed. Your representative acted illegally and you can explain it to the FTC.”
