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.

“On behalf of my whole family, we are so thankful for the caring staff at Robert Toale and Sons. I lost my dad suddenly, and in the midst of the grief, we had a funeral to plan. Paul was our funeral director, and he listened with empathy to us and helped us wade through all we had to do. We had a visitation at the funeral home, and the room was decorated with everything my dad loved. We couldn’t get over the attention to detail and how beautifully they captured my dad’s interests. The staff also made sure that the area my dad was laid to rest was mowed and tidy before his graveside service. We had a reception at the funeral home and the catering was top notch. We are so appreciative of everything they did for our family and my dad in their care. We would highly recommend Robert Toale and Sons to anyone who is in need of funeral services.”
