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.

“Jen was so kind and helpful after my Grandfather passed away in December and again when my Grandmother passed away in February. She walked us through everything. She even allowed their beloved dog to come and say her goodbyes as well. She was so accommodating to our large family. The set up for both funerals was beautifully done. My family is so grateful for all the help she gave us.”

“Jen King did an outstanding job handling my Mom's (Bette Lompe) funeral. She made a wonderful video from stacks of photos that I took in. She also set up extremely nice table displays of pictures and some of Mom's things. She was always available to answer any questions too. She's was compassionate and concerned about us and that things would go well. I highly recommend them.”
