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.

“Dealing with death is hard especially for the first time. However it was such an easier process with the staff at Verhayden Funeral home. From the first call, my anxiety went from 10 to 0 because they took care of everything. All the questions all the paperwork all of the details. I wouldn’t have known anything to do and they really saved my sanity. I chose them based off a simple google search and I am so happy I did. Regina and Elizabeth were amazing. Actually all the staff were. The home-going for my father was so special and amazing and a lot of it was because of them. 5 stars.”

“The staff at Verheyden Funeral home are exceptional. They truly went above and beyond to help send my mama off right. From dressing her in the perfect outfit to the details of her makeup and working with all of us to make sure each of my 8 siblings desires were met; they are incredible. The day of the viewing, they made sure everything was maintained - even cleaning her casket and fixing her makeup. Fast forward 7 months to my mamas birthday, they send me the most beautiful text. I am touched by their thoughtfulness and the intentionality they place on helping grieving families, long after the service. Thank Elizabeth and Regina for your outstanding service.”
