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 wanted some good Italian cookies and I’m happy that I found this cute little bakery in New Haven. I ordered a few different cookies and pastries. I got an assortment of the mini pastries, which included chocolate Pasticciotti , Sicilian Cannoli and cream puff. They were all good. I also got container of the Lemon holiday cookies which I wasn’t really a fan of. The almond base Italian cookies were my favorite here. Staff was friendly and service was fast.”
