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've had to visit Duda Ruck more times than I would have expected to say goodbye. Every time has been peaceful and respectful. My grandmother and father looked amazing. Thank you for being a great place for the community to pay their respects.”
— DUFFEY
“Dad looked 20 years younger. He would have been so pleased with how they cared for him. And, so were we as a family. The pastor was a wonderfully empathetic man, and great speaker. Even though we were grieving the loss, all in all, the experience was a most positive one.”
— Linda Steinberg
“I was so impressed with the caring service our family received with the passing of our mother. I was in all with how seemless the process was. One call and the ball was rolling and they kept me informed throughout the whole process. I worked with Dennis and he was nothing but professional. Everyone that I had contact with were very nice and helpful. I really can't say enough about the service, well done! Thank you!”
— Linda Heron
