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.

“Thank you, Betsey and Mario and John - Betsey made everything seamless and even coordinated correcting an errant flower delivery that was the fault of an online flower shop. There was also personal attention in that Mario dropped off an item that was used for the visitation back to my Mom's house. The staff at Barquin exhibited much needed attention to detail, the right temperament, and compassion during my family's time of needed. Thank you, Barquin Funeral Home!”
