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 Services provided from J.A. Scarano have always been excellent. I've used their services for final respect for my mother, brother and now my father in the Pembroke Pines location for over 15 yrs. The Operations Manager, Marilyn is genuine, very compassionate and always accommodating. Always available when I contact their office. Thank you always during such difficult times. God Bless you always, Luz S Leton”

“We had a funeral here this past weekend, and the service was truly beautiful. During such a difficult time, this funeral home made us feel comforted and cared for. The owner showed such genuine compassion, that’s what made us choose them, and we’re so thankful we did. On the day of the viewing and service, Maria and George went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They helped us honor and send off our loved one in the most meaningful way. This is actually the fourth time our family has trusted them, and each time they just continue to exceed our expectations. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail mean the world to us. We will always come back, this funeral home has truly earned a customer for life. We love this place and the people who make it so special.”
