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.

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to Mike, who helped us at the funeral home during an incredibly difficult time. From the moment we walked in, he made us feel welcomed and supported. He was kind, transparent throughout the entire process, and incredibly diligent. Mike always made himself available, no matter the time or day, to answer any questions or concerns we had. His words of comfort and genuine compassion truly made a difference for our family. Even though we met under sad circumstances, I feel fortunate to have crossed paths with him and to have done business with someone so caring and professional. Thank you, Mike, for everything you did for us.”

“When my brother passed suddenly in Youngstown I was prompted to find a funeral home to assist me in bringing him to peace. Not being from Ohio I called several places and by far Mike at Augustine was the most compassionate and thorough individual I spoke to. From the first phone conversation to our face to face meeting I knew I was in great hands. He absolutely went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and assisted in ways that were above the call of his duty. This was so reassuring and comforting through a very sad and difficult time. I cannot say enough positive words to describe my experience. If you are looking for somewhere that treats you like a business then this is not the place for you. However if you want to be in the best hands and treated like a family member then I highly recommend choosing Mike at Augustine funeral home.”
