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.

“As a resident of summit I was calling this establishment for information with hopes to hold my uncle services here. The man that I spoke to had absolutely zero empathy. I guess I asked too many questions so during our conversation he asked me "are you just questioning me or do you actually plan on having services here. Unfortunately I don't think he understood when I initially stated that I was a summit resident and because this was our first major death in the family I wasn't aware on how to properly proceed. Anyhow I would think that a funeral home would treat possible clients with more respect and sympathy considering these are grieving families. Yes I hung up on him and did call back just to let him know how unprofessional that was just to be told I never said that like I don't have a car full of people that heard him say it lol but okay , in fact My mother-in-law says that most funeral homes apologize for the loss in the beginning of the phone call which he did not do. How ignorant. I'd rather travel. The lack of empathy from whoever picked up the phone call on January 22nd 2026 around 3:30 p.m. is ridiculous.”

“I highly recommend Foran Funeral Home for their exceptional services. They laid my mother to rest with dignity, respect, and care. The staff was accommodating, kind, and compassionate throughout the process. The makeup lady did a wonderful job! Father Noga’s presence added a special touch, making our experience even more meaningful. We are truly grateful and couldn't be more satisfied. Our family has been using their funeral home for generations.”
