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 have been doing business with Dennis and Creran Celebration Etherington Funeral Home for years. Working alongside of them has given me a great look into who they are “behind the scenes”. That perspective has been eye opening for me even as a business owner. Their attention to details, warm and inviting nature and overall care and compassion are truly inspiring. It is so obvious they genuinely love and care for everyone one of their clients. Completely driven to give the best possible experience for every single family going through, what is usually, a confusing and anxiety ridden time. I know that end of life plans are never something people want to think about but I would completely trust them to take care of me and my loved ones. If you don’t know who you can trust during your time of bereavement then please look no further. Just make the call and they will handle all of the rest. I promise you are in good hands and no one will take better care of you or the people that are most important to you.”

“Dennis and Team provided supportive excellent funeral service on behalf of my brother. Katie responded quickly to all questions. Charlie complied photos from various sources and produced a meaningful video memorial. Dennis created a touching tribute cremation display which warmly captured my brothers life. I was so pleased with my experience and comforted by the Etherington- Creran Team. Our entire goodbye experience went extremely well. With Sincere Appreciation, Susan”
