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.

“Michael it a great example of a kind compassionate caring person the right person for the job. He makes sure that not only my husband's funeral was taken care of he also makes sure I am taken care of. He made this difficult time easier for me.

“As a funeral director who runs a crematory, I have an expectation for this industry. But when I lost my father—the first man I ever loved and the one I hold all standards to—I was simply a daughter in need of support. From the pre-arrangements years ago to my father’s cremation, Michael Horkan at Knight-Auchmoody Funeral Home provided an experience that was profoundly compassionate. He extended me the professional courtesy of allowing me to accompany my father during transport and took such meticulous care in dressing him, making him handsome for a private moment that brought me immense comfort. When we arrived at Maclennan Hall Crematorium, I was blown away. It was immaculately clean, and the staff treated my father with a level of respect that surpassed all my expectations. It isn’t just a job to Michael; he has a genuine heart for this industry and for the families he serves. I also want to specifically mention Billy for all his help in assisting Michael. Billy is such a compassionate person, and the care he provided was a true source of comfort. I wish Billy all the success in the world as he navigates his journey in this profession; he has the heart for it. Michael and Billy were supportive from the start to the very last moment, and because of this care, my family is already seeking their guidance for future needs. Michael, I offer you my deepest and most profound thank you. You didn't just handle a transition; you protected my father and held space for my heart. Your kindness has given me a sense of peace that I will carry forever.”

“During the most difficult time of my life Mike at Knight-Auchmoody really made this process as simple as it could be. I really didn't know where to start. Who to call. Who to contact. I was so overwhelmed. A Dear friend of the family put me in contact with Mike and it was the best decision I ever made. He really came through for me. I basically didn't have to do a thing but sign a piece of paper when I got my dad's remains back. He really took care of everything, went above and beyond. I couldn't thank him enough. ❤️”
