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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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 would like to say a special thank you for everyone at White, Venuto, and Morrill. During such a difficult time it’s hard to keep a straight head on. Todd was excellent at helping us with everything for my mom and I didn’t feel rushed or taken advantage of. The last thing you want to deal with is headaches of planning during a loss and everything went smoothly. Thank you for making my mom look extra beautiful. I know she is smiling down from heaven.”

“We'd like to extend our sincere thanks to Todd and Joanne Morrill for the excellent support they provided to us with the loss of our mother. The respect and compassion they provided to us during this heartbreaking time was second to none. From the very first phone we placed, we knew Todd and Joanne would be the people we'd want to help us navigate the funeral planning process. Their attention to detail was phenomenal and it truly proved how much they cared and wanted our sadness to be turned into a beautiful tribute to our mom. They even went above and beyond to make sure the floral arrangement contained the color "sky blue" which our mother loved. Todd and Joanne, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the respect and dignity you provided not only to us but to our beloved mother. We will never forget your kindness and professionalism. To anybody reading this review, we strongly recommend using White, Venuto & Morrill for your funeral requirements.”

“From start to finish they handled everything with dignity and the utmost respect. They walked me through everything when making arrangements for my mom. They even made me a “to do” list so I could easily prioritize during this difficult time. They had lists of suggestions for all my questions, even print outs. They gave me a complete financial breakdown and an in-depth discussion over my many options. They are truly caring, wonderful individuals who are both professional and compassionate. It is a difficult thing in life to deal with a loved one’s passing that was made easier by individuals such as Todd & Joann. They have made themselves readily available at all times for any questions and concerns. Every suggestion was the perfect one and my mom & her service was beyond beautiful and I am eternally grateful to White Venuto & Morrill funeral services. Thank you!”
