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.

“John was amazing to work with and very kind and professional. The funeral home was helpful and informative. We appreciate all they have done at this hard time.”

“I attempted for over a month to secure a contract on a burial plan with my father’s life insurance expecting what I believed to be an easy process. However, after receiving no responses to multiple emails and phone calls, I was forced to use another facility. The new facility handled our need within 24 hours of contacting them. The lack of response from McGilly & George was completely unacceptable. The ladies in the front office were exceptionally wonderful. However, they are not the individuals that complete the contracts. My father entered a long term care facility and we had to secure an irrevocable policy. The lack of response created more problems for us than expected. If they were not in a position to secure what we needed, I would have appreciated this communication instead of ignoring my multiple e-mails and phone calls. Completely unprofessional.”

“I was very impressed with Mr. Haster‘s presentation. He answered every question we had and provided us with valuable information we plan our funeral needs. I was extremely impressed with the cost of the services that we requested. They were far lower than we expected. No detail was left out and our wishes, for a simple service was set forth in a clear and precise plan. As a couple approaching our golden years, It is comforting to know that we will not be burdening our children with this matter.”
