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.

“Many thanks to Kathy and Jake at Nie Funeral Home. I was so impressed that even though the funeral/cremation of my loved one was handled in another state, they provided kind, patient, and compassionate support/guidance re: my questions about traveling with cremated remains to my loved one's final resting place. I also appreciate having the appropriate urn for traveling. Thank you, Kathy and Jake.”

“I partnered with Nie when my Mother passed. The staff did so much more than simply provide a service - their efforts are unmatched. They’ve been incredibly patient with my sister and I. Clearly communicated necessary steps in processes and continuously offered updates along the way. They’ve eliminated so much stress and anxiety for us. After my Mother’s arrangements have been finalized they’ve maintained contact to see how we’re doing and if there’s anything else they can help us with. I will be recommending Nie to anyone in need. You will not be disappointed.”
