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.

“Della Vecchia Funeral Home went above and beyond to make sure that everything that we needed was taken care of before we thought of it. We had so many compliments on the arrangements. The overall consensus from friends and family was that they had never seen anything so beautiful. The attention to detail was unbelievable. They took my husband’s belongings and turned them into a work of art. I highly recommend them. They truly are the best at what they do.”

Working with her through this time was a gift, she was kind, caring and beyond accommodating in every way possible. Janice went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, her kindness and true empathy is unmatched. She is wonderful, thank you Janice & the team at Della Vecchia from the bottom of our hearts.”
