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.

“Mary Boudin is phenomenal. She took care of everything before I even thought of anything. Mary listened to all of us about the smallest of details and mom had a beautiful funeral because of her attention to detail.”

“This is my first review ever, but I wash truly appalled.. I have never been so ashamed of a place. The services was nice but the funeral directer treated the wife of the deceased awful, she was rude, cut her off when she asked a question, just not nice to her at all..... These people are supposed to be supportive of all the family not just certain ones, this lady loved her husband and was obviously upset as would any family, but this was unacceptable. If you have to use facility beware of this rude person. I was in total shock of how some people were treated. So sad that losing a husband isn't hard enough.”
— Diann Harrell
“I traveled from out of town to help my sister with arrangements and for a funeral service at Shaffer's. I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the chapel was for our service. The lobby area was very comfortable which was a big plus because we had been on the road all day. The staff was friendly and helped answer all the questions we had. I highly suggest Shaffer Funeral Home at this location.”
