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.

“We had our ceremony of matrimony (outside the mass) at St. Anthony of Padua in March 2024, and it was absolutely perfect! My husband’s family is from Oahu, and we currently live in Oregon, so coordinating from afar could have been challenging, but working with the parish and their front office made everything smooth and simple. The ceremony was beautiful, and Kepa was incredibly accommodating with the music. The homily was heartfelt, and we felt so welcomed despite my husband’s family not being Catholic. It was an intimate, unifying experience, and we’re forever thankful for the church’s generosity in allowing us to get married there. We couldn’t have asked for a better setting for such an important day. Thank you, St. Anthony of Padua Church, for making our ceremony so special!”

“Visiting from Wisconsin and found this lovely church and have been coming to daily mass. Very active daily mass congregation. Tonight a lent mass and tomorrow 24 hr adoration and mass. The congregation is very welcoming. If you happen to be in Kailua on vacation this place is holy and alive!”
