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 have had nothing but the best experience in the most difficult time of my life dealing with Mike. He is everything you need a funeral director to be. Twice in the last four months Mike has taken the absolute best care with my dad and stepmom. I’m happy to have come across a person like him when I needed it. He guided me through this new chapter of my life leaving no information out. I can’t thank him enough.”

“McCauley-Sullivan Funeral Home & Cremation provided exceptional service during the funeral and cremation of my dear mother, who passed away recently. John Sullivan, Michael Palacz, and the rest of the staff demonstrated professionalism, care, and empathy throughout this difficult time for our family. They handled all the details seamlessly, allowing us to focus on grieving and celebrating my mother's life. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of compassionate and reliable funeral arrangements.”

“I lost my father on 2/16/25. In a fog, I just picked a local place with the highest google review. I'm so grateful that I did. John met with me and my family the next day and made the whole process so easy for us. His care and compassion made us feel at ease and the communication from that point on was excellent. There was zero upselling! He just wanted what we thought was best for our dad. He and his team took care of everything. The night of the visitation was run perfectly. John came to the burial and shared a beautiful prayer and poem that landed perfectly with my family and it was a great way to wrap up the service. I can't recommend McCauley-Sullivan enough. Thank you John and team for everything, I will forever be grateful to you and how everything played out. - Jason Fox and Family”
