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.

“My experience with Readshaw Funeral Home has been nothing short of exemplary. I entrusted the care of my father to them fifteen years ago and, just last week, that of my mother. They were attentive to every detail and provided comfort and peace of mind to my sister and me during a time of sorrow. Kevin is a consummate professional. He is patient, discrete, compassionate, and a gifted speaker. The showing was perfect in each case and the final ceremony was tasteful, well orchestrated, and peaceful. The tone was exactly right. On a more practcal note, the pricing was very reasonable and there has never been any pressure to "up-sell" on any aspect of the final arrangements. It is my pleasure to recommend their services when the time comes. Jeff Betts”
