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 cannot say enough wonderful things about Jane and Jim at Pearson. They made my family feel like family, and it was wonderful to have them at this part of our lives. You never want additional stress in an unexpected and sad time. I would highly recommend using Pearson for any funeral services needed. Thank you again. All our love, from the Snyder Family ”

“I highly recommend Pearson Funeral Home. Jane was so very kind, patient & sympathetic; she lightened the burden of planning tremendously. Leah was available to make sure all the details were perfect, and on the day of the service Jim was irreplaceable. He made sure everything was taken care of, enabling me to focus on saying goodbye to my mother and be wholly present with my family. Thank you, Pearson Funeral Home, for gracefully supporting me & my family on one of the most difficult days of my life. Lizette V.”

“Wonderful funeral home run by very kind people. I wouldn't have wanted my father with anyone else. My dad passed very suddenly in August of 2019. No life insurance, no savings, nothing to help pay for his services. (I'm 25 and barely stable myself.) The owners of Pearson were so kind and empathetic. They worked with me and helped put my mind at ease. I'm eternally grateful for what they did. Thank you Pearson Funeral Home. -Sincerely, The Peugh/Slenbaker Family.”
