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 would not recommend using this business. The guy that showed up to get my father's body was very rude. There was NO compassion in his actions towards my family or my father. He barked out orders to his assistant and to my brothers and sister who were helping. My father almost was tipped off the gurney and he handled my father's body like a bag of trash. The hospice gal was there also and she was horrified by what she seen and was in tears as she seen what happened. A grieving family should not have to had seen there loved one treated so disrespectfully. Please don't let them handle your loved one.”
