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 am very thankful for all of the help and assistance provided by the Minnehaha Funeral Home in planning and executing the visitation and funeral service for my father. The staff was able to provide great suggestions and made the process as seamless as possible. I really appreciate that I was able to relax for the service knowing that they had everything under control and would help when we needed. I would recommend the Minnehaha Funeral Home to anyone planning a funeral for their loved one.”

“Everyone we encountered at the Minnehaha Funeral Home was patient, caring, compassionate, helpful and kind. Doug came to meet with my mother prior to her death to go over her wishes. After she passed, they took wonderful care of her and of us. They’re made sure her wishes were followed. They answered all our questions and offered suggestions when we needed them. Their professionalism is beyond compare. I would not hesitate to call upon them when their services are needed.”
— Nancy Born
“Very compassionate and thoughtful director. Made sure everything was taken care of including things we never would have thought to do. Very good online presence with photo and video tribute software that was easy to use. All aspects of the funeral were well planned and was a good tribute to our Dad.”
