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.

“FairHaven treated the recent death of our mother/wife in a very respectful and dignified manner. When we had a memorial service at a local church, the men who came to help set up, bring in the flowers, etc., and greet people were so attentive to all the details. They took care of everything and we appreciated that during the difficult time. When we met with Jared, he was very thorough and answered all of our questions. We can't speak highly enough about the services that FairHaven provides.”

“My husband recently died. My daughter contacted funeral homes to price cremation services. She was SO impressed with Fairhaven's upfront pricing, and the fact that Fairhaven did not yse that vulnerable moment to upsell its services. Fairhaven very quickly handled everything surrounding cremation of the body, and expedited the issuance and delivery of death certificates. The staff is very pleasant and efficient. I cannot say enough to recommend Fairhaven.”
— Leah Hencier
“Fairhaven was very helpful when my brother passed away. My brother lived on the streets before ending up in a nursing home. They showed him complete respect and help me write an obituary that was also respectful. Thanks for everything Deborah Carper”
