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.

“We want to thank Kelly, Tammy and Dan for all the help they gave us through our moms passing. They guided us through the planning of her service and were so compassionate, caring and loving during the process. Every detail was so incredibly personal and perfect. We appreciate how they listened to all of our requests and made sure our mom was handled with respect and dignity. The graveside service was beautiful, heartfelt, and exaclty our "mom". I know we have thanked them a hundred times for all they did for us- and we want to thank them a hundred more times! We are so appreciative for all you did for us! Fondly, Gary, Kaethe, Ashley & Tyler In Memory of Joyce Hall Gary, Kaethe, Ashley and Tyler”
