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.

“Higgins-Reardon Funeral Home - Poland Ohio location handled all arrangements when my husband Paul passed suddenly and unexpectedly. He was only 60, so we were not at all prepared. Kristina (funeral director) was amazing, helpful, respectful, compassionate, responsive, and all around wonderful to deal with!... as were her colleagues, John, Jan, and others. I am ever grateful for all their assistance.”

“My beloved sister Mary Ann’s funeral was yesterday. From the moment we entered the funeral home to plan her service Christina was there to help and guide us through this difficult process. She is truly a blessing to both the families she helps and an asset to Higgins corporation. I will never forget her kindness and compassion to us.”

“At a very difficult time, Higgins Reardon was there for me after the passing of my mom. It was the same compassion and professionalism I experienced 25 years ago! This time I was fortunate enough to work with Emma. She was excellent at reading my state of mind and emotion and we planned the service in exactly the right spirit. She got me everything I had in my mind and in two days. I was not oversold or undersold. She listened with compassion and delivered a service that was 110% what we wanted. She coordinated cemetery arrangements and the perfect floral spray. She attended the final service with an associate and they were the best. Emma is 5 star and Higgins is lucky to have her. I was lucky to get her as my associate. In a time that was not easy, Emma took care of every detail. Thank you Emma and thank you again Higgins Reardon for absolute perfection. Rob Lonardo”
