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.

“My family and I couldn't be more satisfied with the care and concern we received with the death of my wife. She died at home and the entire process was handled with respect and dignity for both my wife and the family in attendance. Steve O'L. was outstanding in his compassion, sympathy and concerns of our needs during this very tragic time. The entire staff acted in the same manner. The entire process went smoothly and was not rushed. We were given the time we needed to both grieve and make the necessary decisions. We strongly recommend the Beinhauer organization for when the need arises.”

“There was great care taken with my niece and nephew who lost their mother, my sister, very suddenly. None of us live nearby, but they made it possible for me to take care of funeral arrangemnts for them, alleviating them from the burden of paying for an unexpected loss. Great care and kindness. Thank you.”
