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.

“Despite the nature of my visit with Schoedinger Advantage North, the process was smooth and their attention to detail is impeccable. Halle and Hannah are a sterling example of what compassion should be. In a reality where you lose a loved one, they are truly a beacon of light. Their care and patience goes above and beyond in my experience. Losing my mom was difficult, but they helped make end of life decisions much easier.”
