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 husband and I got married at The Grandview in Poughkeepsie, NY in October 2024. We wanted to post a review here to give Angel his flowers for bringing our wedding vision to life. Angel was so professional and attentive, carefully listening to our wedding vision and walking us through balancing our dream florals with our budget. He stayed very responsive via email whenever we had questions or needed to make changes. His planning website was modern yet user-friendly. We really appreciated that he uploaded photos of the specific flowers and arrangement styles he envisioned while keeping our preferences fresh in mind. The preview bouquet and centerpiece my fiance and I picked up from his shop were gorgeous and made us so excited for our wedding day. Our experience staying in close communication with Angel was a breath of fresh air, since many of our friends did not get a chance to see previews or touch base with their wedding florists until right before their wedding date. I also want to note that Angel’s attention to detail is outstanding. He carefully thought about every wedding detail, like what color ribbon we preferred for our bridesmaid bouquets. He also explained how he and his team would decorate the Church for our morning Nuptial Mass and how they would transfer our larger floral pieces from The Grandview’s outdoor ceremony space into the Grand Ballroom for the reception. Every time we look at our wedding photos and his breathtaking florals, we get transported back to that happiest day in our lives. We love his work so much we celebrated our first year anniversary with one of his bouquets inspired by our wedding flowers. We highly recommend Angel and look forward to working with him again for future special occasions.”

“I cannot say this enough- BOOK ANGEL FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY!! Wow is he the best of the best. Him and his team will bring your dream wedding to life, even more than you could ever envision. He is so creative, and really works with you to make sure he is understanding your vision completely. Angel is amazing to work with, and I promise you can trust him 10000% with a day so important to you. I work in the wedding industry, so I have worked with hundreds of vendors, and I would not have booked anyone but him for my own special day. Even my wedding venue was so impressed by his work, and kept coming up to me to rave about him. His work speaks for itself. You will not be disappointed!!”

“WHAT A DREAM COME TRUE!!! Working with Angel was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning. We were looking to do a classic and elegant style wedding and from our first consultation, he took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we never imagined. The flowers were absolutely stunning—fresh, vibrant, and arranged with such care and artistry. Our bouquets, ceremony arch, and reception centerpieces were beyond beautiful and completely elevated the atmosphere of the day. Angel and his team’s professionalism and efficiency were evident throughout the entire process, and their hard work did not go unnoticed. We are so thankful for their talent and dedication. The florals were one of the highlights of our day and something we will never forget. Highly recommend!”
