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.

“We found Staab in Sherman to be very professional, compassionate and helpful during an extremely difficult time. We had a few meetings with them and from there they created a beautiful tribute and service. Any and all questions were addressed quickly and, as the family, we were able to focus on each other because the staff at Staab handled every detail so thoroughly. We would definitely recommend this beautiful facility and were so thankful for their kindness and attention during this time.”

“In August of 2021 we said goodbye to our sweet 96 year old mother. Mother had prearranged her services with Staab’s in Sherman, and from the first phone call the staff handled everything with such professionalism but more importantly to us, with loving care. There was nothing left to be concerned with. The staff was attentive and available at every moment. It’s not just a job to them, you have every confidence that they care. You all made a tough day peaceful from the viewing to the burial. ♥️”
