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.

“If you have not yet made your end-of-life decisions, consider meeting with Denise DiPesa-Lathrop at Baldwin Brothers, Ocala. My wife and I attended a “Lunch and Learn” presentation, which was very informative. We later set up an appt. to meet with her and she helped us make a plan. Thank you, Denise, for your much needed help.”

“We met Denise Lathrop at a lunch and meet. She did a very thorough presentation and answered all of my questions and I had plenty. Very personable woman and knows her business. We set up an appointment and met with her yesterday. We went over all of the options we had discussed previously and we purchased 2 pre-paid plans for our future so our kids don’t have to worry about anything. Denise also gave us cards, laminated to give to our kids so everyone would know who to call when the time is appropriate. Call Denise if you’re considering this. She will take good care of you.”
