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.

“Came here on Friday (6 Mar) and received the best service!! Got to make my own bouquet and the staff helped me with arranging it and recommending the pattern of the wrapping paper. 🙏🩷”

“Best florist shop in New Haven by far. Extremely sweet staff and always has a great variety to choose from. Never once been disappointed from my many, many visits. Ms. Carrien and her husband are the best. Can't wait for these flowers (esp the lilies) to bloom.”
— Daven Yadav
“Carin has been so helpful on numerous occasions, my fiancé (now husband) was coming to New Haven from Manhattan and had a hard time finding someone who could arrange and deliver flowers to me. When he called and talked to the owner, she walked through the process and picked out exactly what he wanted. She delivers flowers weekly and always puts a smile on my face. We had her arrange flowers for our recent wedding and she did an amazing job. Great service with a personal and caring touch... we will be customers for a long time. Thank you so much!”
— Phil and Anna Conley
