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.

“The loss of a parent probably is never easybut Daniel was very personable. I had never met or spoke with him until finding out my dad had passed. He took my call at 11:30ish at night and was very compassionate. When I met him in person it was like I've known him and he was very caring through the entire process from start to finish. The presentation and appearance of my dad in his final state was very impressive and comforting. Daniel ad his staff are great at their job and more importantly great as people.”

“I did not have any knowledge of what was involved with planning a funeral. Daniel and his team made every step of this process easy so that I could take care of other important details. Every detail of the process was handled for me, he helped me make decisions without being pushy, judgmental or impatient. This team is simply the best there is, and I would recommend them to anyone going through this difficult time.”
