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.

“We chose the Burke-Magliozzi Funeral Home because it just felt like my partner when we walked in. Joel and his team were absolutely amazing to myself and my partner's family during this incredibly difficult time. They provided guidance and support from start to finish (and then some), they were reachable when we needed to get in touch, and were very accommodating. The service was absolutely beautiful, and I can't thank them enough. I rarely write reviews, but wanted to thank them for everything they did. I highly recommend Burke-Magliozzi.”
