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.

“The Hardy Family handled my Fathers funeral/ memorial service. From the initial meeting, they were very attentive to our needs & wishes. The meeting space was very comforting and the decor went unnoticed. Although we selected cremation- they prepared my Father for a quick viewing ( touching up his face and skin). Thank you for your time, offering beverages & light snacks. The staff hears our wishes, added their expertise and made our memorial very special. They are very skilled and final arrangements, modifying the body/ face and exceeding our expectations.”
