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.

“Patrick Ghostlaw, the Funeral Director at Crawford Funeral Home owned by Anthony Funeral Chapels was the first person I dealt with during such an emotional time with the passing of my husband. All arrangements of caring for my deceased husband with a caring and respectful pickup, cremation, and appointment was taken care of seamlessly and compassionately. For my follow-up physical appointment, Patrick had a warm and caring presence from the moment we met which is just what I needed. He really listened to my thoughts and concerns about how to navigate this step, enjoyed getting to know about my husband, offering a ready tissue, and me feeling in great hands. He understands and said with assurance and sincerity, that he is here for all families during such a difficult and emotional time. His care and attention to details was 5🌟! My choice of Crawford Funeral Home was a good fit for me. It was near me, had attended several services there , is traditionally decorated, warm and inviting.”

“Crawford took care of the arrangements for both my Mom and my Dad. I can’t say enough good things about them, especially Patrick. Patrick went out of his way to get everything in order on a Friday afternoon so that we could have the funeral on the following Tuesday. He is a true professional who goes the extra mile for his customers, never straying from his compassionate demeanor. I highly recommend them.”
— Michael Schoene
“I used Crawford funeral home 3 years ago for my Dad's journey home, both literally and figuratively, as he had a Masonic service at Crawford and was then transported back to his home and the family plot in Philadelphia. The folks here were wonderful and provided lots of comfort and guidance at a difficult time. They coordinated things with the cemetery in Philadelphia and brought his casket where it needed to be. I was very pleased with their services and their beautiful home, which is just a little old fashioned, just like my Dad was. I'm sure he would've approved!”
