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.

“Very pleased with Crawford Funeral Home and the services they offer. Mike handled all details so that I didn't have to worry about them. Because my dad had preplanned, Mike had answers to questions I had and he offered ideas for things I would not have thought of. Mike had the church set-up in place when we arrived, along with little details that made the service more meaningful. He followed up several weeks after to offer resources and check in with me. Excellent service. Mike made a difficult time more bearable. I highly recommend Crawford Funeral Home.”

“Mike and Laura at Crawford Funeral Home were available to our family at any given notice, during our time of sorrow. Our family had specific wishes, with only our Mom in mind, before and after her passing. They made everything we asked of them happen. The day of her service, we were well informed by them to help make everything go as smooth as possible. The patience, love and support given to our family made this day stress free. We appreciate all the help during, and checking in on us afterwards, making sure our grief was heard and addressed if needed. Thankyou so much Mike and Laura , The Family of Gladys Mulhern”
