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.

“My father unexpectedly passed away in January and we needed someone to reliably help us navigate services at Arlington National Cemetery. We found Storke Funeral Home online and I don't know what we would have done without David Storke. David was available within minutes to answer our questions and remained highly accessibly throughout the process. His caring, professional demeanor put us at ease immediately on the phone and in person. He was detailed oriented and took time to explain the process (multiple times) making sure we understood the time lines and unfamiliar Arlington protocols. David facilitated transporting my father's remains from more than 500 miles away and respectfully sheltered him until the services. Words can't express the relief we felt knowing that David had everything covered. He personally handled the services at Arlington and treated us like we were his only client. We are forever grateful and highly recommend Storke Funeral Home.”

“I feel very fortunate to have chosen Storke Funeral Home for my fathers Arlington National Cemetery burial. David Storke personally handled every detail of my fathers arrangements. David walked my step-mother and I through every step and ensured we understood the process from the Time of Death in Delaware to the Internment at Arlington Virginia. The most important thing to me during this process was trusting the funeral home. David exceeded my expectations from the first phone call, and earned my trust by delivering everything he promised. The picture I attached shows David's dedication. That is him standing at the transfer point at Arlington making sure every detail of our fathers funeral was perfect.”

“Our family was devastated to learn the burial of my husband at Arlington couldn’t happen for 6-8 months because of the shortfalls of DoD. The staff and Director of the Storke Funeral Home were subjected to all the nonsense our family threw at them as we struggled to deal with the burial delays. Storke Funeral Services helped us explore options and acted immediately once a decision was made to send my husband home for burial in TX. They coordinated the shipment of his remains and managed everything with the receiving funeral home in TX - we didn’t have to do anything. More importantly, when we viewed my husband’s remains in TX, he looked 10 yrs younger and at peace and that was a direct result of the professional work done by Storke. I will be forever grateful for the support we received.”
