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.

“Words cannot describe how grateful I am for Peters Funeral Home when my father passed away. My mother recently passed away in January and I used a different funeral home and I regret not using Peters Funeral Home. Todd and Riley were very personable and dedicated to guiding me through each step at such a difficult time! Without Todd and Riley, I am not sure if my father’s memorial service would have had all the wonderful personal touches. I cannot recommend them enough.”

“I can't say enough good things about our experience with Peters Funeral Home. When my dad died last year, Todd came into the hospital room and the first thing he did was hug my mom. He set up our family meeting and was very organized. He not only remembered me and my sisters, but also my cousins who live out of town from my grandparents' funerals 20 years ago. He personally knows most of the local church leaders, florists, and caterers, and it was nice that he collected all the bills so we only had to worry about paying 1 person. The tribute video that Riley made is something we will treasure forever. They were very compassionate and made sure the visitation and funeral service were efficient. They had local law enforcement lined up to control traffic. Cindy even loaded up all of our memorial flowers and plants and took them to my mom's house while we were at the cemetery. They're a great family business!”

“The work Peters Funeral Home does for the community of St. Paul cannot be justified with words, but I will do my best. This small town is very close, & the amount of care, respect, & professionalism shown by this family owned business is astounding. I’m proud to see my hometown in great hands. I especially want to mention Riley Peters in his role at this company. Riley has taken on a career that is incredibly tough emotionally, but even more so in a small community where you personally know many you take care of. It’s even harder when it’s friends or classmates. Beyond that Riley is interwoven into the community fibers of St. Paul & is motivated to keep it a thriving community & pleasant place to raise a family. The whole Peter’s family should be proud of their work, & the great hands the company & community is in for the future.”
