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.

“Denise, Allan, and Cipriana were so kind and compassionate in handling my sister's final arrangements. They were welcoming from the beginning, and answered all of my many questions. They facilitated all of our wishes perfectly, with love and empathy. Although I hope to not need their services again, they are the only people I would trust to take care of my loved ones. Their facility is beautiful. They accommodated our changing needs without any issue whatsoever. After all is said and done, they even offered to remain a resource if we need anything else. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Messinger in Fountain Hills. They are truly doing such hard work, and I am most grateful.”

“Dealing with the death of a loved one is no easy task. I am grateful for the staff here at Messinger. They were extremely knowledgeable and comforting when we were requesting services for our mother during a pandemic. They followed the CDC guidelines and allowed us to have services for our mother in a timely fashion. With so much to worry about in a time of sorrow, it was nice to have them guide us through. I highly recommend their services.”
