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 siblings and I had the difficult task of planning a funeral for my beloved father, and Freedman Funeral Home truly went above and beyond. Their service was AMAZING from start to finish! The staff was compassionate, professional, and took care of every detail, allowing us to focus on celebrating my dad's life. They treated my father with the utmost dignity and respect, and their kindness and care were evident in every aspect of the service. I would highly recommend Freedman Funeral Home to anyone in need of funeral services. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. Thank you for taking care of my dad and our family with such love and respect.”
