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.

“The death of a loved one comes with a lot to process both emotionally and logistically. Snyders handled the services for my Dad. When my Dad’s health began deteriorating we met with Jackie to begin the preplanning process (HIGHLY recommended). Once he passed we were connected with Candice. Her professionalism and communication skills were EXCEPTIONAL. Our services were held at the Barn at Paradise Station. We did a few things “out of the norm” but Candice and her team took it in stride. My Dad was a pizzaholic so we offered samples of his favorite pies from a local pizza shop. When the pizza arrived, the Snyder team met the driver and carried the pies into the Barn. No matter the request it was met with a receptive ear. From the guestbook to the floral arrangements they handled everything. They even had blankets at the cemetery (it was a windy day) and gave us thank you cards to hand out to our helpers afterwards. The staff was professional, kind and efficient with every aspect of the service. We also had an opportunity to see my Dad before the services. Their preparation of his body was masterful. Seeing him really helped to bring us closure. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking such good care of our family and father.”
