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.

“Be careful, kinda like doing business with a dealership, I compared my cost to my sister's which she did about 2 yrs ago , with additional cost she added it came up to $1900 but yet the final cost between our contacts was a $1,000 different? Makes zero sense..also Lou over the phone says it will be under $10,000 , yea with removing some stuff . One last thing , they did not ask me if I was a veteran which I am so I can get a Military plaque , and my sister gets a $1,000 discount and I get a $270 , go figure”

“What is there not to say about Lou! He was amazing, and comforting and welcoming from the moment he came to my house to pick my grandmother up. At the wake, she looked beautiful, he made us laugh, made us feel welcomed every time and kept us on our toes with his jokes. The funeral felt like I have done it over and over before. The guidance was outstanding.. I really felt at home, and that I could come and go and talk to them about anything and my needs with them. And they did it! I couldn't thank them enough!”
— Kimberly Nelson
“You want the best possible service for your mom when she passes. You want everything to be the absolute best for the one you mourn. Nancy, Lou and Joe did exactly that for our wonderful mother. Mom looked stunning because of the care and love that was taken in presenting her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely, Vinnie”
