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.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gorny and Gorny. I actually called them by mistake after mixing up names, and it turned out to be the best mistake I’ve ever made. From the very beginning, Emilio and his entire team were nothing short of angels. Every single person we worked with (Emilio, Victoria, Valentina, Kristen, and Angel) radiated compassion in a way that is hard to put into words. I hardly ever remember people’s names, but I remember all of theirs, which says so much about the impression they left on me and my family. What made Gorny and Gorny so extraordinary was the attention to the little details. They created a beautiful sign by the guest book with my dad’s name, and because he was a mechanic, they thoughtfully added a small graphic of tools…a gesture that meant the world to us. We also asked if we could bring my dad’s dog before the service, and not only did they say yes, but Emilio went above and beyond by setting up a special little spot with a sign and a doggy bowl. These details, though small, spoke volumes about how much they truly care. Losing my dad at just 59 years old has been the hardest experience of my life, but Gorny and Gorny made this incredibly painful time a little more bearable. Their compassion, thoughtfulness, and genuine care will stay with me forever. I will always be grateful that they played a role in this final part of my dad’s life.”

“In the most difficult moment of my life after the unexpected loss of my father, I cannot thank Victoria, Emilio and Valentina enough for their professional services. From the moment Victoria picked up my phone call she was so compassionate and understanding which helped ease my families pain. She sat there with my mom at the end of the viewing and offered words of compassion and never rushed us out even though our time had elapsed 30 minutes ago. Emilio was also great and did a wonderful job preserving my father’s image and identity and accompanied us until the very end with great compassion. Valentina was so helpful with any request we had with my dad’s obituary and his cards, and even helped us reformat our pictures when they wouldn’t load on the day of the viewing. I highly recommend Gorny and Gorny for anyone looking for a final goodbye with dignity and honor for your loved ones. Thank you once again Emilio and team from the Ferreira Family. RIP dad, we will always love you ❤️”

“We are deeply grateful for the care and kindness Emilio and Kristen has showed to our family while helping us through the funeral arrangements for two of my uncles, who passed away within a few months of each other this year. Emilio, your attention and comforting presence through it all brought us peace when we needed it most. Your support made the process easier for our family, and we are truly grateful. Thank you both for all that you do!”
