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.

“While losing a loved one is never a pleasant experience, Chris and the Jowdy-Kane team made the entire process as easy as possible. We are a large family with a lot of factors and opinions, but we all felt heard, understood, and prioritized. The location is spacious and comforting, and they truly take care of every detail. Our entire family is still talking about Chris— from the moment he came to our home after my grandmother passed until the burial was over, he was nothing but supportive, patient, and kind. His presence immediately put us all at ease, and his professionalism allowed us to make incredibly difficult decisions more easily and confidently. He never made us feel pressured, rushed, or stuck, and has the patience of a saint. I do not know what we would have done this week without Chris, and am deeply grateful for his support. The celebration of her life was beautiful, they accommodated all of our wishes and specifications for the services, and it was all taken care of with such minimal effort on our part. I would recommend Jowdy-Kane to anyone who needs their services. And Chris, thank you infinitely for everything you did for us.”

“I want to thank everyone at Jowdy-Kane Funeral Home for everything they did for us in helping us with arrangements for my Father-in-law, especially Chris. They were so responsive and compassionate, and they made everything so easy for my husband. I would definitely recommend them.”
— Claudia Gregory
“We had the pleasure of working with the Jowdys to handle my father's services. Not only were they professional and kind, but the final total came to less than expected and the difference returned. Highly recommended.”
