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.

“Susan and everyone at Byron Keenan made an awful time as painless as it could possibly be. Their compassion and kindness was amazing. After my husband passed, I was dreading having to make arrangements. Susan took a great deal of time with my whole family, talking with us about my husband and our family and what would be meaningful for the services. When we arrived for the services, I could not believe how absolutely beautiful the presentation of everything was and how it represented my husband and everything he loved! Family and friends all commented on what a beautiful tribute it was to him and our family and I could not be more grateful! I highly highly highly recommend Byron Keenan to everyone who is looking for a place to say goodbye to a loved one. In the face of unimaginable grief, Susan and everyone at Byron Keenan was a true blessing!”

“Excepcional Service-Top Notch 💕 This is the first time I experienced the process of a funeral arrangement. My husband passed away suddenly and not knowing what I needed to do I reach out to two funeral homes. Sue from Byron Keenan Funeral quickly reached out and I quickly felt that this was the place. Her compassion, sympathy, patience and knowledge of the process made the kids and I feel at peace. I just said what I wanted and she delivered. Her staff were extremely helpful and there to make sure everything went smoothly. I couldn’t ask for anything else because everyone there delivered top notch service. The place is beautiful and well decorated. Bathroom are beautiful and smell good. Our guests were so impressed with this place.
