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 had the opportunity to work with Amanda to plan the funeral arrangements for a dear widowed friend who was in hospice at St. Ann's. She had used Dierna Funeral Home when her husband passed in 2014 and was very satisfied with the compassionate care she received during a very difficult time for her. In planning her cremation I felt the same way. Amanda walked me through the steps I needed to take before and after my friend's passing. She took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions. Very kind. I would highly recommend Dierna Funeral Home for taking care of your loved ones funeral needs.”
