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.

“My family has went through Friedrich’s Funeral Home for the past three loved ones we’ve lost. They were extremely professional, courteous, supportive, and just downright amazing. But this last passing, meant more to me than anything, as it was my father we were laying to rest… So I was much more involved in this entire process than ever before, and was there to see firsthand, how much a funeral home actually takes care of when it comes to the passing of a loved one… there is so much you all do, so when it’s done right and just beautifully executed- you can’t help but to feel so unbelievably grateful to those in this field. Friedrich’s Funeral Home- THANK YOU. There are truly no words that I can express to emphasize how grateful I am to all of you for the outstanding services provided. Joe, you have been wonderful to our entire family for years now, to the loved ones we’ve lost. You may not remember us specifically, and that’s ok- were fully aware that this business is never ending- and unfortunately people die everyday… it is a never ending cycle for you all and it must be tough at times… but I personally still wanted to extend my gratitude to you specifically. My family and I will forever remember your kindness and the exceptional services provided to our family during the most difficult time of our lives. Highly recommend Friedrich’s Funeral Home to take care of your loved one. I assure you- you will not be disappointed.”

“After many beautiful years, it finally came time to utilize Friedrichs for the funeral arrangements of my grandfather. There was never any question as to who we would use, and there was certainly no regrets. This is truly a family run funeral home - not a branch of a big corporation. Joe and Jack took care of every detail of the visitation, funeral, procession, and committal- creating a beautiful day that surpassed anything we could have possibly imagined. Multiple guests commented on how "Friedrichs knocked it out of the park"- just so impressed with how well everything from the body presentation to the logistics was handled. They turned this day of dread into a true Celebration of Life. We cannot recommend this family's services enough if you are seeking a funeral home in the Mount Prospect region.”

“I live in Mount Prospect, I have been to many wakes, memorials, and funerals at Friedrichs. Recently we had to actually host our own family memorial service. It’s a very stressful and sad time. The team at Friedrichs took care of our every need with great care, which really helped with the grieving process. Knowing we were in good hands left us to mourn with family and friends while all details were taken care of. We could not have been more pleased with everything. We know when needed Friedrichs will be there for us, right in our town. Thank you Friedrichs!”
