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.

“Sean and the staff at John A. Gentleman went above and beyond with assistance while making arrangements. They were attentive, detail oriented, and guided us throughout the process. Questions were answered promptly, and we felt supported in every aspect. It takes the right personality to work with grieving families and our experience shows that the John A. Gentleman group has that. We would highly recommend working with them if the need arises for your family.”

“John A. Gentleman did a wonderful job with my mom's funeral, everything was perfect. Casey was our main contact, she was very professional, very kind and everything flowed with ease. I would definitely recommend John A. Gentleman over any other mortuary in town. Thank you again for everything Natalie Hartung-Bundy”

“Annamarie was such a big help with us. We had just lost our 16 week old baby and it was/is really hard on us and she was super respectful and super sweet. Sarah and Annamarie reached back out to us after everything was done to check up on us as well. Though I hope I don’t have to again soon, I would definitely use them again!”
