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.

“Casey’s Eastside Memorial Funeral Home and Cremation exceeded our expectations with genuine care, unwavering support, and professional excellence. Facing the reality of saying goodbye to our mother was incredibly hard, but Holly, our funeral director, guided us with patience, clear explanations, and a calm, reassuring presence. Her encouragement helped us navigate decisions and ensured the planning and celebration of life felt meaningful rather than overwhelming. We’re grateful we entrusted Casey’s with these arrangements and highly recommend their compassionate, personalized service.”

They really went above and beyond, but most importantly, they were patient with us from start to finish! Having to say goodbye to my sister was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do and Casey's definitely knew it, they were compassionate, caring and accommodating.
