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 staff here are courteous and professional, without any upsell. They just honored my mother's wishes and I really appreciated the professionalism. They offer a range of services should you need them and man, good on them to do what they do. I could never. Huge respect.”

“My father had passed recently very unexpectedly. When we called affordable cremation & burial after my father's autopsy was done Matt went all the way over to pick him up and bring him back to the funeral home. They where very honest about the price and everything and awnserd our questions with very honest awnsers. Matt helped us see my father one last time before he was cremated by sewing him up. He was honest on what we will and might see when we said our goodbyes. He took amazing care of my dad and we where able to get him back quick. Thank you so much you guys have made our grieving process alot easier. Thank you for not being money hungry and being very kind”

“I wish I could give Matt ten stars. Really. This is one of the most honest and finest services I have ever received. Your loved one just passed away, you are at you most emotionally vulnerable condition, and Matt will not take advantage of you. He took care of my family and walked us though the process, and even somehow got up to Silver Bay to get my Father in Law. All of this was affordably priced. we paid what is on the website, not a dime more. Just to note, his prices haven't gone up since 2015. The Duluth area is fortunate to have Matt and this service.”
