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 never thought I would write a review on a funeral home, but the care and services that were provided should be shared. Mike and his staff showed nothing but care and compassion while dealing with the remains of my wife and our family. Every question was answered and every detail was explained, no matter how small and we were set at ease knowing that Ginny would be treated with respect... like she was a member of their own family. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!”
— Tim Larkin
“Kristina and the team at Crapo went above and beyond. The service was beautiful, and Kristina made sure to walk me through every step as this was my first ever service to have to plan. Would use them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Kristina and the Crapo team!”
