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.

“They are great. Their facility is large enough to accommodate people yet gives you an intimate feeling. There is room to display photos & momentos of the person being honored. Plenty of corners & areas to let small groups congregate.”
— Betty Pont
“I went to a funeral today that this home took care of. It was terrible. Flowers didn't get placed on casket until half way through the viewing. Mass cards were left behind & brought later. Undertakers had no suits on.. The one looked like he rolled out of bed And the closing of the casket was horrific & I hope I never see that again. Mortified!”
