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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“As a funeral director from out of state, working with Shikany's has been an exemplary experience. I have used their services for my own father and when I need assistance in the Naples/Bonita Springs area, Bill Shikany is always my first call.”

“Bill Shikany took everything off our shoulders and by listening with patience and grace to five of us brought out our stories and wrote a beautiful tribute to my husband. Bill did everything possible to make his Memorial Service something that would have made him proud and was so beautiful for all of us. At a time so sad, he made everything easy for us.”
— Jeanne Vollmann
“Mr. Shikany was a big help for me losing my husband after a brief illness. He and his team were professional and available for any questions that I had. They were very compassionate and accommodating for all my needs. I am a geriatric nurse and would call Mr. Shikany when one of my residents would pass and he has shown dedication and kindness for my 22 years at the Assisted Living I was managing.”
