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.

“Brasco Funeral Home helped us with the arrangements for my father in law. We worked with both Paul Brasco and Tracy Best. Both were so kind and patient with our family. They handled everything for us. We decided to use their beautiful Chapel for his memorial service. It was perfect. I would highly recommend Brasco’s. They made an emotional and difficult time so much easier.”
— Jeri Solomon
“Brasco & Sons did a great job on services for my Father in Law. The Funeral Home was beautiful. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. We found the Funeral Directors and Staff to be very compassionate and professional. The Brasco Family did a great job all around for our Family and we are very grateful for them. We highly recommend Brasco & Sons Funeral Homes in you time of need.”
