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 brother had terminal cancer and wanted to be buried from Church & Allen. As next of kin I went to the website, gave them the info requested. The site said someone would get back to me within 15 minutes. Three weeks later and nobody has called. When it became obvious that my brother was at end of life I called directly. A woman told me that nobody was available but took my name and number. Again, nobody called. He died that evening and I still hadn’t heard from Church & Allen. Thankfully the hospice nurse told me about Abbey Cremation. They were very responsive and professional, unlike Church & Allen. Church & Allen should be ashamed of themselves.”

“Mike was a fantastic help during a very tough time. He and his team were first class and I can't say enough good things about them. The visitation rooms were large, bright and dignified. My sister was well cared for. Thank you to Mike and his team”
