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.

“The Chomko family has provided services for both my parents and grandparents. They are kind, patient and so attentive to details to ensure you are happy with the service for your loved ones. They went above and beyond to help with all the funeral arrangements and working through life insurance questions and concerns. I can’t imagine having anyone else help us through such a hard and sad time for our family. Edward Chomko is one of the kindest men I know. We are so grateful to him, his son and their whole staff for everything they’ve done for us over the years.”

They truly care about the families they serve and come highly recommended by our family. Thank you again for all you did for our family.”

“I recently had the experience of working with Chomko Funeral Home during a very challenging time for my family. From the moment we walked through the door, we were met with warm smiles and genuine compassion. Everyone there went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was handled with care and respect. Andy and Ed guided us through the entire process, offering support and understanding without being pushy. They took the time to listen to our wishes and helped us create a beautiful tribute to my grandmother that truly reflected her life and spirit. The facilities were impeccably maintained, providing a serene and comforting atmosphere for our family and friends. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail in the arrangements, from the floral displays to the picture slideshow they created that made the service feel special. I also appreciated the transparency regarding costs and options, which made decision-making easier during such an emotional time. They were respectful and professional, yet they also felt like an extension of our own family. I cannot thank Andy and Ed at Chomko Funeral Home enough for their kindness and support. They made a difficult situation more bearable, allowing us to focus on celebrating our loved one’s life. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need.”
