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.

“My grandpas funeral was here. We are a big family and the new facility accommodated our family and friends with comfort. People were able to congregate and move with ease. They also have a nice spot for my children to play while waiting and kept them busy. The staff did a great job with the service and the facility is a beautiful upgrade. Definitely recommend!”

“A beautifully renovated facility that has a nice clean modern look to it, yet very comforting. The chapel area can hold a little over 200 seated, plus there’s a nice grand piano and a clear sound system. Love the huge screen in the front with the picture of the deceased. There’s a grand fireplace in the main room, a nice side room for meeting and four easily accessible individual bathrooms. A nice area for a luncheon with a room that overlooks Hastings Way, but it’s very quiet and soundproof. They need a little more practice on the AV technical aspect with the glitches of the video display, but other than that very well done.”
