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.

“Our family is deeply grateful to Dzikowski, Pierce & Levis Funeral Home for their exceptional care and compassion during such a difficult time. From the moment we walked through the doors, Joe, the funeral director, went above and beyond to guide us with kindness, professionalism, and understanding. His attention to detail and genuine concern made everything feel seamless and personal. Mary, the owner, was equally wonderful. Mary's warmth and steady presence brought such comfort. She truly cares about the families she serves. Every interaction was heartfelt and sincere. We felt like family. We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful, respectful experience. Thank you, Mary and Joe, for helping us honor our father so beautifully. Five stars simply aren’t enough.”

“Mary and Joe were extremely kind, accommodating, and understanding with arrangements for my father’s passing. They kept me up to date with steps as I don’t live in NJ and made the process very easy. Mary went above and beyond in making sure we had everything we needed and we were cared for during the service. I want to thank you all so much. I highly recommend this funeral home in the unfortunate instance of needing services of a loved one. They will treat you like family.”
— Alyssa Zientek
“Mary Pierce is so compassionate and understanding. She was a blessing at a very difficult time. She understood funds were limited and she helped me make the correct decisions to allow me to have a dignified service for my loved ones. Mary and her manager Joe have been my support for me and my family members. I thank God for sending Mary to help me navigate the difficult decisions I was faced with. I highly recommend Dzikowski, Piece & Levi’s Funeral Home.”
