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.

“Solimine Funeral Homes is the best around! Joel came to my mother's house the day she passed and showed the type of empathy we needed! He spent a great amount of time with us answering every question! The Funeral Director (Christina) did a fantastic job! The fact that we knew every thing that was going to happen prior to the wake is a testament to how well Christina knows her job! The entire staff is great!”
