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.

“Everyone treated our mom and all our family with dignity, kindness and respect. We only have great things to say about our experience with Joe Jackson Heights Funeral Home.”
— NORA Soria
“The care and compassion we received from Ricardo Sosa and the entire team at Joe Jackson Funeral Home, especially those at the Heights location, were truly insurmountable. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, as we said goodbye to our beloved grandmother, their support was invaluable. Ricardo Sosa went above and beyond to ensure every detail was handled with grace and respect. The professionalism, warmth, and sincerity from the staff helped us find comfort and peace in the midst of our grief. We are forever grateful for the kindness they showed our family—it made all the difference in creating a beautiful and meaningful farewell for someone so dear to us. Thank you from the Ortegon family.”

“Joe Jackson’s funeral home treated us like family, and helped make the experience of my mother’s passing bearable. These people brought us great comfort through the burial process. They respectfully guided us, and beautifully restored my mother so that our last image of her was not the one of her suffering in pain from cancer, and instead she looked vibrant and at restful peace. Joseph and his team have such warm and empathetic hearts, they are well suited to this profession. It is difficult to convey how much these people comforted us through their caring. This was the first time I’ve ever had to go through this process and I’m so thankful it was through them. Please consider using them when the need arises, they will help make the experience of your loved one’s transition a peaceful and caring one.”
