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 sincerely thank Marvin Zanders Funeral Home for walking me through one of the most difficult experiences of my life. I am truly proud of how I showed up for my father, and I could not have done it without their guidance and care. I worked personally with Ms. Cassandra, and I can honestly say she is one of the most caring and compassionate people I have ever encountered. She made sure I was comfortable and fully understood every step before moving forward with any process. There were moments when I felt like giving up, and she spoke life into me. Her words of encouragement uplifted both me and my mother during a time when we needed it most. Ms. Cassandra was present, patient, and supportive until the very end, and that meant more than words can express. I would highly recommend Marvin Zanders Funeral Home to anyone in the Central Florida area. This is one of the oldest and longest-standing Black-owned funeral homes, and their legacy of dignity, compassion, and professionalism truly shows.”
