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.

“My recent experience with Tazzini was wonderful. The process for my fathers funeral was very smooth. George handled every aspect behind the scenes making sure everything we requested was provided while giving us time to mourn. Every time we had a question, he was readily available and the services were just perfect from beginning to end. Thank you.”
— Laura Trimboli
“From the first phone call to George and through the final details, George and Joe made a very difficult situation seamless for our family. Their professionalism and genuine kindness will always be remembered by the Leonardo family , we will be so ever grateful for their services. Patrick Leonardo”
— Barb Leonardo
“They were extremely helpful to me after my mother passed away. Since I was from out of town and an only child, they knew exactly what to do and made my mother's services exceptional. My mother had additional ashes which required an additional burial. I would highly recommend their services.”
— Dana Boswell
