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.

“Came in for a necklace filled with remains of my Grandpa for a cousin but was also curious on how American funeral homes were run so asked if I could ask question and look around and because they had time, the front desk lady was kind enough to pair me up with one of the funeral directors who was named Tim. Tim was amazing. I arrived at around 11am-12pm and left at 2:30pm with so much more information and knowledge. Tim was kind enough to answer all my questions, show me around and was just super patient. This might be the only funeral home in Grand Rapids but it sure is a great one. Very kind and patient staff.”

“I can't say enough how wonderful Rowe Funeral home is. Our family has used them for years. My mom just had her funeral there. It was so beautiful, they were there every step of the way to help the family. I can't say enough how amazing Leah was to work with. She is a angel sent to help the family in grief. This job was made for her. Thank you again for all you help. I'd give them over 5 stars if I could.”

“My Aunt passed away in Texas in the middle of May of this year. Rowe funeral home went above and beyond bringing her back to her home town Grand Rapids MN. Thru picking her up at the airport a round trip of 7 hours driving to all the other details they were awesome. Dave and his team thought of things we would not have thought of and were no mistakes or accidents with my Aunts funeral and Graveside services. Every penny we spent was well spent because Dave was above reproach and never was unprofessional or not understanding. Thanks so much Dave and your team for a good experience under the circumstances .”
