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.

“Mike Papich was a godsend to work with upon the unexpected and sudden death of my father. His professionalism was top notch and service to our entire family was excellent. The funeral home was peaceful and quite comfortable given the large number of people that attended the services. The staff worked so well with everyone. We really couldn’t ask for better service during that difficult time. I would highly recommend any family to Papich-Kuba.”
