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.

“Miles was very professional and kind in helping our family navigate a tragic and difficult time. He was thoughtful about his suggestions, timely with all responses, and did an amazing job leading our sons celebration life service. He took a ton of stress and pressure off of us during such a difficult time. We would absolutely recommend him.”

“My mother had written a note to use Johnson Funeral home. When we called at her passing they arrived promptly on time. They were very respectful in how they allowed those present to say their last respects. The transport out of her house was done discreetly and with grace. The planning process went incredibly smoothly. Even to transporting my mother to Tillamook from Salem for her final internment. I was very touched when the staff called right before the funeral to verify how they wanted my Mom dressed and how her hair was done. The entire staff was more than professional, they were truly caring. They very much displayed a Catholic reverence for the faithful departed. The entire process went smoothly, which did much to comfort me and my family. Highly recommended.”
