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.

“Keith was absolutely amazing during this whole process. Our family has been so stressed out, not knowing what to do. We lost our dad and it's just my sister and I trying to figure everything out. We never been through any of this before. Keith guided us through everything and couldn't have been more helpful to our family. I just wanted to let you guys know he truly took so much weight off of our shoulders. He made this whole experience so much easier. Thank you Keith from the bottom of our heart.”
