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.

“Our family was truly blessed to have found PROUT Funeral Home for our 102 year old mother’s funeral service. From our very first contact with them through the conclusion of the service, they were gentle, loving, caring, comforting, and incredibly helpful with every aspect of her funeral and cremation. We felt we were able to give our mother a beautiful and meaningful final farewell more than we could have imagined. Our family was extremely pleased and deeply grateful to the entire PROUT Funeral Home team. They are exceptionally professional and full of compassion. We feel very fortunate to have found such a wonderful funeral home, operated by a warm and loving family.🙏🏼🙏🏼”

“When my sister passed away, I traveled from Florida to New Jersey to plan her funeral. Not being from the area, I searched online and was truly blessed to have found Prout Funeral Home. The care and professionalism they showed in handling my sister’s funeral were absolutely amazing. Everything was done with perfection—they paid close attention to every detail and guided us through every aspect of the planning. It was an incredibly heartbreaking and difficult time for our family, but Bob was exceptional. His guidance and compassion throughout the entire process alleviated so much of our stress. We are beyond grateful for everything Prout Funeral Home did for us, and I can’t thank them enough for the comfort and support they provided during such a painful time. With a grateful heart, Gillian”
