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.

“It’s incredible how God send Angels to someone’s life in difficult times; when you feel confused, loss and without any directions. Those Angels belong to Compagnola Funeral home’s team; who treated my family with such extreme care and kindness. Those Angels worked with us through the entire process: from having a Beautiful Service, experiencing a perfect Goodbye, having my Father’s in Law prepared to send him back to his Natural Country, where he wished to be buried: Next to his mother’s Grave. Those Angels from Compagnola made an amazing Job even in Holidays Time to make plans successfully completed. My Husband and I will be 4ever Thankful! 🌸”
