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.

“I didn't catch the gentleman's name, I only spoke with him for a moment. I can honestly say, what a caring facility they operate!! My goodness! I work for a cargo place in a small town and we are all connected in one way or another. When a loved one is lost, we all feel that pain.There was a bit of confusion and the gentleman on the phone was amazingly helpful and knew exactly what I was inquiring into. During these tough times, the last thing one needs to deal with is a difficult, unhelpful person on the other end of the phone. Thank you for caring.”
