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.

“On behalf of my family, I would like to thank the Oliveira Funeral Home team, specifically Jonathan, for coordinating the funeral of our mother Maria C. Almas this past September. Jonathan did an outstanding job, from the first call, the arrangements, the layout, the wake, getting the open flower car, vehicles and keeping in touch with our family from the days prior to Mom's passing. We were so grateful and blessed to have them on our side to guide us with the arrangements and for their professionalism when picking up our mother at home. Our family and friends particularly, still talk about how smoothly everything went thanks to Jonathan, my mother looked like she was sleeping in her beautiful 48 oz. Solid Bronze casket. Their South Main Street location was comfortable for the funeral and a beautiful layout with the gorgeous flowers and the decor. I absolutely recommend Oliveira Funeral Homes to anyone who is looking for a professional service with dignity and respect. Everyone their is so kind, caring and friendly during a difficult time especially with the loss of my loving mother. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!”

“During a difficult time the Oliveira family made it as easy as possible. The compassion , empathy, and professionalism they put forth is beyond words. Sadly we will all deal with the passing of a loved one and when that happens I can't think of a better family to help your family thru the most difficult time.”
— Steve Cabral
“My family had been using Oliveira's so when I had to go through a very unexpected loss of my dear son I chose Oliveira's also. I had already gotten to know Jonathon there when we made my mom's service there. Jonathon is very easy to work with, very pleasurable young man and certainly knows his job. You can contact him anytime when going through making your arrangements. He provides his cell# to you and is available to you. We were very happy in what they provided to us. Our service was at our church because of the amount of people and they had everything there for us.”
