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.

“Last week, I called to inquire about my great-grandmother’s resting place. I was instructed to come in so that it would be easier for me to locate her grave. I went into the office and was greeted by the staff. Mr. Walsh took my information and within minutes provided me with the information and asked one of his staff members to show me the location. My great grandmother passed away 44 years ago and I was able to finally see her resting place within 5-10 minutes (driving time included). I’m so excited to share that my family and I will be purchasing her a headstone this week.”
