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.

“We laid my Mother in law to rest today. We decided on a green burial as per her wishes. She passed in her home surrounded by family in Landenberg, PA. Needless to say logistics were involved with transporting her here to Bethlehem for the burial in Fountain Hill's Green Meadow. Our Funeral Director Justin Keiper is an angel on Earth. He was there every step of the way. He also gave the eulogy as it were at the grave site and it was perfect. The team at Cantelmi Longs is the absolute best in the Lehigh Valley and in my opinion the entire Common Wealth of Pennsylvania.”

“From the very first moment we met Justin, we felt an immediate sense of comfort and care. In one of the hardest times of our lives, he guided us with patience, compassion, and professionalism that went far beyond our expectations. Justin has a way of making you feel like family. He took the time to listen, to honor every detail, and to ensure that our loved one was remembered in the most beautiful and meaningful way possible. Nothing ever felt rushed or “standard”—everything was done with true heart and intention. His kindness, calm presence, and ability to balance professionalism with genuine empathy made all the difference. We will forever be grateful for the way he helped us through such a painful season, turning grief into a moment of dignity, love, and remembrance. If you are ever in need of funeral services, I cannot recommend Justin highly enough. He doesn’t just do his job—he serves with his heart.”
