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.

“We recently worked with Lima Erickson Funeral Home during one of the most difficult times in our lives, and I cannot say enough about the exceptional service we received. Laura was our main point of contact, and she handled everything with the utmost professionalism, compassion, and care. From the moment we first spoke, she made us feel supported and at ease. What truly stood out was how efficiently and respectfully everything was handled. While other places told us that cremation could take several days, Laura arranged for it to happen the same day, right after the viewing. This allowed us to bury my father and begin the process of moving forward with peace of mind. The viewing itself was beautifully arranged—peaceful, dignified, and without any sense of being rushed. The setting was serene and respectful, allowing family and friends time to say goodbye in a meaningful way. Everything was done with great attention to detail, and it was clear that the staff truly care about the families they serve. The facility was clean, calm, and well-organized, and all logistics—from paperwork to timing—were handled smoothly and clearly. We always felt informed, supported, and never overwhelmed. I am deeply grateful to Laura and the team at Lima Erickson for making this difficult time just a little easier. Their kindness and professionalism meant so much to us, and I would highly recommend their services to any family in need of compassionate and efficient funeral arrangements.”
