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.

I write this in behalf of the entire DeGrazia family with all our thanks to you and the entire Jeffries and Keates family and staff. From the moment my husband and his brother met you Andrew, your warmth and sincere care brought them so much comfort and truly eased their grief. It meant so much to them and to us all.

“Jefferies & Keates Funeral Home in Northfield was a blessing when my husband passed away on Groundhogs Day of this year. They helped me with all the arrangements and answered all my questions about what to do next. They really took care of his body. He looked like himself. They have beautiful urns and price in reason. I would use them again.”

“I just recently buried my Dad. Jeffries & Keates did a wonderful job making my Dad's funeral the best. The funeral director Andrew Hoffman was very nice to deal with. He made me feel as if my dad was his own. His mannerisms was heartfelt. He was very informative and offered me options that were available like televising the services on the web so the rest of my family that live in California and couldn't make it to the funeral, could watch. He even did the service for my dad. Which I may say was very nice and moving. I couldn't have asked for better. In my heart I know my dad would have been very happy.”
