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 of this Family Funeral Home was truly professional and respectful of our "family" and of our loved one. Our father passed away on Christmas morning. We were contacted immediately by Stacy, letting us know that she would be taking care of everything. We were very sad to lose our father on this special day, but Stacy put our minds at ease by offering her professional guidance and compassion regardless of the holiday. The entire staff's specialized knowledge and willingness to help with every detail was comforting and outstanding throughout the entire time. Our entire family would like to thank you for helping us say a loving and final goodbye to our beloved father. Kathie Carpenter and the Langdon Family”

“When I lost my husband unexpectedly, I knew who we would want to handle the final care for him. A lot of our families have trusted Betz, Rossi,Bellinger&Stewart to do this hard thing. The care and compassion started with them at our home and continued through the time of the final rest at the cemetery. Sydney Boyle handled his care with utmost respect for our wishes. Answering questions from us and assisting with the task of getting the whole thing done, start to finish. Thank you Sydney.”

“In the last 16 months I lost both of my parents. Their wishes were to have Marty Hughes take care of their arrangements. We had prearranged both funerals and when the time came last February 2020 and this June 5, 2021 I contacted Marty at the time of deaths and he rearranged his schedule to accommodate our requests.Marty is the most compassionate caring and professional individual and he and his entire staff made us feel extremely comfortable as they comforted us and took care of all of our needs. I highly recommend them and I am happy to provide any feedback you request.”
