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 mother lived at St Justin's high rise in Mt Washington for almost 20 years. When she passed away recently happened to be in her area & passing The House of Paradise so I called them and they have been great taking care of mom's final arrangements. I would highly recommend this business and their prices are reasonable which was important as Mom had very little insurance.”

“AMAZING. The Homecoming service that was provided by House of Paradise was top Notch. We were not familiar with this Funeral Home, but we are so pleased that we found them. The Service provided to our family for the homecoming of my father was Superior. The empathy and compassion during this period was like none other. I felt like we were family to them. Shamiah was a godsend to my family and was there for every detail. My mother and family are still raving about the service we received. Thank you so much for everything.”

“Henry Houze did an amazing job for my wife Lona Carr, with helping to finalize her brother's homegoing service. It was a very stressful time with family struggling financially and dealing with losing our beloved brother Jacob. Henry stayed present and communicated every detail of cost to us. Jacob looked amazing being laid to rest.This young man was exceptional to us and made us feel like his own family❤. We don't reside in Erie,Pa. If and when, we have to bury another family member out of state they definitely have to measure up to the delivery of services that Henry provided! House of Paradise, your services were truly a Blessing!”
