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.

“I want to thank Pellerin’s for handling the funeral arrangements for my friends husband last night. They handled everything for her and made it less stressful for she and their wonderful kids. There is a lobby for food, fresh coffee, and a nice private back patio. A leisurely stroll to the historic Evangeline Oak to reflect is also a plus for this location. Recommended. Thank you.”

“I've been to several funerals here, overall good but it's definitely an older building. However, at the last funeral I attended here, which cost more than the average funeral, they did not have any vehicles to transport us from the church to the burial site. The three funerals prior to this they had transportation, but when we asked this time they acted like we were crazy and said "families usually just take their own cars." When we asked about a pallbearer car, the staff member just said the same thing. Just left a bad taste in our mouths after losing a loved one, to pay so much for an older building and no longer receive a service they used to offer. Overall a good company, choices are limited in this area, I would just maybe suggest a different location.”
