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.

“If you’re reading reviews and wondering if you should call Berarducci Funeral Home the answer is YES! My brother passed away unexpectedly July 29,2022. I live out of state and I was lost. I never wanted to accept I had to call a funeral home because my younger brother passed away. I had no idea what I needed or what to do. I am truly blessed to have met Annette. She made me feel taken care of and most importantly I felt my brothers death was being treated with honor and respect. Annette took the time to explain the many options available to me. For me Berarducci Funeral Home and Annette will always bring comfort in a time when I felt so lost.”
