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.

“Our experience with Dieterle was truly fantastic. Becky held our hand through every step of the funeral arrangement process and made an incredibly difficult time feel more manageable. She was helpful, knowledgeable, empathetic, and carried a calm, peaceful presence that helped guide us through it all. Becky was always responsive and available, catering to our needs and going above and beyond to ensure we understood what to expect. I would highly recommend Dieterle to anyone going through this process.”
