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 family chose Hoffman Funeral home to care for my brothers final arrangements. The staff at Hoffman are exceptional. They guided us through the entire process of gathering all the required information and were very patient and explained and answered our questions along the way. After my brothers service, the staff continued to reach out to us to offer ways to deal with grief. I would recommend Hoffman Funeral home services. They are top-notch.”
