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.

“Kevin Mason and the team at Mason’s Funeral Home went above and beyond for my family during one of the hardest times of our lives. They took care of our mother, Anna Marie Slisz, with so much love, dignity, and attention to detail. She looked absolutely beautiful—peaceful and elegant—just as she deserved. The service was thoughtfully arranged, the space was calming and respectful, and the staff was kind, gentle, and patient with us every step of the way. We are forever grateful for the care they gave to our family and to our beloved mother. If you are looking for a funeral home that truly treats your loved ones with the utmost respect and compassion, this is the place. Thank you, Kevin. You gave our mother the goodbye she deserved.”

“Kevin was caring, kind, and empathetic in my family's time of need. He came to us while my father was doing to make final arrangements, which saved us the burden of another thing to make time for. He kept us informed every step of the way. He is a man of integrity and character as he was incredibly reasonable in his pricing and did not once try to push for additional services or expenses that we could not afford. I can not say enough about him, and would strongly recommend any family going through this incredibly difficult time rely on him to handle things.”

“Let me start by saying- if I could give Kevin and his funeral home 100 stars, I would. The compassion, time and energy Kevin gave to my family is truly incredible. I lost my brother suddenly and tragically on March 21st. My parents and I were in such terrible shock and pain, I don't even know how we managed to take the steps needed for my brother's end of life needs. Thankfully, we had Kevin. He made it so easy for us during this terrible time. I called two funeral homes the day after my brother passed (or the day of, I truly cannot remember). Kevin was the first to return my call. He was so caring and gentle, I felt like he was a family member. When the other funeral home returned my call, they gave me a price that was DOUBLE Kevin M. Mason Funeral Home. They actually asked me how much he was charging, and they said they couldn't come close to that price. I know it may seem off-putting to think about prices at a time like this, but we are not rich, and Kevin saved us so much money on end of life needs. Not only was his pricing much better than other places, he never once tried to sell us anything. In fact, he recommended checking out other places for certain needs. He took care of absolutely everything for us at a time where we could barely get out of bed. I will never forget the kindness and compassion we experienced with him. I am hoping it will be a very long time before I need him again, but I know exactly where I will be going if I suffer another loss. So if I could, I would give Kevin M. Mason Funeral Home 100 stars, along with Kevin Mason as a human being. Thank you, Kevin, from the bottom of my heart. My mom, dad and I will forever be grateful for you.”
