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 am very satisfied with the services provided by Fairhaven Memorial Chapel for my family. Jason communicated effectively with us throughout the process of bringing my dad, who passed away in the U.S., back to Nigeria. The flight details and pickup time were accurate. When my siblings received my dad at the morgue in Nigeria that we had chosen, they confirmed that he was in excellent condition and looked just like himself. The service cost was reasonable compared to the quotes we received from other funeral homes. Overall, it was a seamless experience, and I would highly recommend Fairhaven Memorial to anyone needing their services.”
