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 cant thank Michaels Funeral Home (Michael, Stephanie, Mark) enough for the compassion and professionalism they showed while helping me plan my moms funeral. From the very first phone call they were kind, patient and attentive to every detail. Losing mom was incredibly difficult but their support made a hard time just a little bit easier to bear. They guided me through every step with care and clarity never making me feel rushed even though I called pretty much daily and asked a lot of questions. The service was beautiful and exactly what mom would have wanted :(. The funeral home is warm, clean and very open. Also the fact we had the entire space to ourselves was very meaningful. Thank you for all your help and helping us honor her memory with such grace and respect. I highly recommend Michaels funeral home which was recommended to me by a friend.”

“The entire Michaels team was extremely professional, accommodating, and patient with me. This was my first time planning a funeral and wake, and I had a lot to learn. I am also extremely particular, and called them everyday during the week prior to the wake with questions and changes. They never got short with me, and continued to assist and advise me, in order to plan a beautiful experience to honor the life of my father. The funeral home is bright, open, and very clean, which gave our family and friends a warm welcoming feeling. The pricing was very fair, and there were no hidden costs. Dealing with Michael, Stephanie, and Mark was truly a pleasure during such an emotional time. David Valentino”
