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 recently experienced the unexpected passing of a young loved one, and it was our first time having to make funeral arrangements. During such a difficult and emotional time, Ryan was truly a blessing to work with. From the first phone call, he was kind, patient, and transparent. Unlike many other funeral homes that quoted separate prices for every service, Ryan provided a clear and fair total estimate, which helped ease so much of our stress. When we met him in person, his compassion and professionalism immediately stood out. He gave us time to grieve and make decisions without ever pressuring us, and he guided us through every detail with care and respect. Ryan took care of everything — all we had to do was make our arrangements with him, and he handled the rest. Even in such a heartbreaking time, he made the process as smooth and comforting as possible. We are deeply grateful for Ryan’s kindness, honesty, and support. He went above and beyond to help our family, and we couldn’t be more thankful for the compassion he showed us during one of the hardest moments of our lives.”

“In my darkest moments after my husband passed I was so fortunate to have the team at Gearhart Funeral Home show so much compassion and kindness to me and my family. The compassion and care they took in bringing him into their care from my home to assisting with his final resting place, my family and I were very impressed. Everything that was to happen was explained very kindly by the funeral director, Ryan. I felt very cared for by all the people who helped me at Gearhart. Prices for the funeral services were explained and everything went so smoothly.”
