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.

“Dan Fairchild is amazing. I highly recommend him. Dan was kind, compassionate, thorough, incredibly knowledgeable, and responded to my emails seemingly instantly, regardless of the time of day (I live in California so there is a three-hour difference). I also recommend that you, like my sister who passed away, make funeral arrangements with Dan for yourself, before you pass away. By making arrangements with Dan in advance, she spared us the burden of wondering what she wanted. Thank you, Mr. Fairchild, for making a difficult time much less difficult.”
— Walter Moore

— Anita Collier

You will be well taken care of at a time when you most need it.”
