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.

“When my Japanese grandmother passed away our family chose to use Snyder's Memorial. Being Japanese there are certain customs/traditions we as the family have to do for our passed loved one. Mr. Snyder and his family were educated already with these things prior to our request and made us feel more at ease. They were very professional and respectful for all of our needs. During a difficult time of losing a loved one I highly recommend the use of their services. They went above and beyond for our family and will do so for yours too.”

“My father just passed away, and it's been a very very hard time for me. As for the care and compassion David Sndyer has given my family and I? Amazing, attentive, emotionally understanding, and professional. You do have to make an appointment, but since they are busy, this is understandable, and they are always able to squeeze you in as soon as possible. He was able to make mine that very day, a few hours away. The cheapest cremation by far, and a celebration of life for the same price as cremation only most places I was calling. Any time he sent information, emails, phone calls, he was always polite and friendly,making sure to communicate so things we're done in a timely manner. He understood that someone lost an important part of themselves. David helped me make all the preparations for my father, and didn't rush me to make any decisions. He understood my grief, and even at 28 I never expected to have to bury my father until a few years at least, but I had David Snyder, a wonderful husband Andrew, and my grandparents to help me understand this depressing, although necessary, last part of life. From all my heart and our family, thank you, and I hope that many others get to experience the same kindness we did when they lose a loved one. R.I.P. James Waycaster.”
