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.

“Kyle and Melissa showed alot of support and made my father's wake a beautiful experience. I can't thank them enough. I especially love the extra sentimental items you leave with. From the candle with my father on it to the mini photo album that includes pictures of the flowers and cards that were displaying during the wake.”
— Michelle Formella
“Having to cope with sudden loss of my dad was the most difficult thing we've ever had to do. Melissa made this experience bearable and we cannot imagine anyone else helping us get through it. We've never had to make arrangements for anyone thus far and didn't know where to start, but they picked up all the pieces and took care of everything. They never even once referred to dad as a body, always as a person as if he was still with us. We are so grateful for everything and would not recommend anyone else, they are truly the best.”
— Dorothy Florescu
