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.

“I would highly recommend McCafferty Funeral Home without hesitation. Mark and Lisa are both great- kind, warm, empathetic, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. They both worked hard to ensure that planning our loved one’s funeral service was as easy on us as possible. Mark was incredible the day of the service itself as well- he thoughtfully guided us through every step of the service and checked on us multiple times throughout the day to make sure we were okay. Services were well organized and professional. McCafferty is truly a class act. Down to earth, reasonable, caring- we couldn’t have asked for anything better.”

“I strongly recommend McCafferty funeral homes. I rarely write reviews but In a world where it feels like many businesses care more about the transactions than providing high quality services and experiences for people, it was refreshing to find a place that does it right and has their priorities in order. Mark and Lisa were compassionate, understanding, but most importantly, they were both extremely professional and competent. We reached out to them recently when we lost a family member and they guided us through the process and all the options with a focus on what was right and best for the family at every step and turn. Their execution was perfect and they demonstrated amazing patience and grace when I made a mistake. They went above and beyond to rectify my goof and assure that the services went ahead without a hitch. I truly believe they understand they are providing more than just funeral home services, they provide experiences for grieving family members, and friends that will be remembered forever. That was their sole focus the entire time because they take pride in what they do and they value the relationships they forge during some of people’s toughest times. I will be forever grateful to them both.”
