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 recently had to bury my uncle who died rather unexpectedly. We worked with Andrew Nardolillo to plan the services. Andrew was polite, compassionate, and empathetic. He was extremely patient with my mother and took to the time to properly explain everything to her and answer her questions. He followed up with us several times during the planning process and was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Andrew helped us to pick out a special casket that perfectly suited my uncle. The wake had a large turnout and it was handled professionally and without a hitch. The entire staff was extremely caring and courteous. Anthony Nardolillo took over the next day and ran the funeral in a precise and flawless manner. He did a great job directing his staff who was also phenomenal. The day was as perfect as a funeral could be. This is truly a family business and I highly recommend them for these services.”
