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.

“Thank You very much Vince and Heather your team at Reidy Scanlan Giovannazzo really made the whole process of handling my mothers funeral very simple. We had decisions to make and you guided us wonderfully though them. Special thanks for including my 7 year old grand niece as a pall barrier after the church services, it really helped all of us on that very tough day. Thanks again, hopefully I will not need your services for awhile but when I do I look forward to working with you again. Dan”

“We have used this funeral home for multiple family services over the years, including most recently for my father’s funeral. Vince, the funeral director, is truly one of the most compassionate and attentive professionals I’ve encountered in this industry. He goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is handled, allowing our family the space to grieve without added stress. His communication is clear, timely, and thoughtful, and no task is too small for him to manage. The service was beautiful, seamless, and truly honored my father’s life. We are so grateful for Vince and the entire team. I highly recommend this funeral home to anyone looking for respectful, professional, and caring service during such a difficult time.”
