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.

“My grandmother has been a resident at Arbor House for almost 3 years now, and I couldn't be happier to see the care and comfort she has received there. The staff is incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. My grandmother is well cared for and genuinely happy. Arbor House does a great job of keeping us updated via photos and videos on Facebook, and answering calls/texts whenever we need an update. I'm so appreciative of the kindness and care shown to my grandmother. I know she is safe and well cared for. Thank you Arbor House for all that you do!”

“Arbor House quickly became home for my ninety five year old mom! She loves the staff and the many activities keep her engaged throughout the week! I feel so thankful for a caring, providing staff! They give excellent care and are proactive in taking care of mom’s every need. What a blessing Arbor House is to our family!”

“Our mother was only able to stay a short time since she was very sick and needed extra care—enough that we were asked to take her out of another assisted living nearby only 6 weeks before she passed. We could not have asked for more caring and considerate treatment of my mother. She had all kinds of complications that were time-consuming for the staff. They accepted the challenge with smiles and kind words and gracious treatment above and beyond the professional requirements. If you want a place where they will take some oak care of your loved one no matter what—we recommend the Arbor House. We also noticed that there is a very stable staff who understand each other and our patients first. Frankly, that is nothing less than extraordinary in today’s environment.”
