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.

“This company was very nice and pleasant to work with. They answered all my questions. They were very kind and cared about my family. They went out of their way to help me as it was a long distance situation. Thank you so much for making it and easy process.”

“A heartfelt thank you to George Boom Funeral Home and especially Kyle. Less than three years ago, unexpectedly we lost my dad a day before his granddaughters wedding. Very emotional time for us. We put off meeting with the funeral home until after the wedding because we knew dad would want Brittany to have her special day. Kyle was more than willing to do whatever needed to be done for us. Dad was a WWII veteran and every detail was seen to with little help from us. It was a very special service. Now, almost three years later, my mother passed away. Kyle and George Boom were there to meet our every need. Again, every detail was perfect, down to Kleenex on the chairs at the church! The people at George Boom are so caring and help as much as they can to make a difficult situation as easy for the family as possible. The children appreciated the cookies at the visitation! (Well, not only the children)! Thank you for all you have done for the Sirovy family!! I would like to add that I went with my parents back in 1998 to George Boom funeral home so they could plan their funerals. They picked out caskets, music, Bible verses etc. That is the greatest gift you can give your loved ones. I can’t imagine having had to do all of that on top of the shock of losing a parent. It made it as easy as could be for us. And, they have followed up just to see that we are doing ok and if there is anything we need. Strongly recommend!! We appreciate Kyle so much, but I’m sure the others are awesome too!”
