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.

“Exceptional service during a very difficult time. Living several states away from my brother and father's passing, I was initially concerned about how the process would unfold. However, they made everything so much easier. From the moment I reached out, they were thorough, clear, and incredibly understanding. The staff was compassionate, always available to answer questions, and offered much-needed support every step of the way. They handled all the details with professionalism and care, which brought me great comfort knowing my loved ones were in such capable hands. I truly appreciated how they simplified what could have been an overwhelming process and took the time to ensure everything was done right. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness and efficiency during such a difficult time.”
