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.

“Heritage Funeral Home is truly exceptional. After my great-grandfather passed away, I drove my great-grandmother and grandmother to make the arrangements, and I was blown away by the kindness and care shown to them. Thomas was incredibly understanding—he explained everything clearly, never rushed us, and never pressured my family into anything unnecessary. His compassion made all the difference during such a painful time. The team was always quick to respond and provided outstanding service throughout our loss. We are deeply grateful for their support.”

“Heritage Funeral Home exceeded every expectation my family had. Mr. Thomas was absolutely amazing—helpful in every way that truly mattered during such a difficult time. We were blown away by how affordable everything was without sacrificing dignity or quality. I honestly never knew you didn’t have to choose between affordability and a first-class experience, but Heritage proved you can have both. The funeral home itself is beautiful—immaculately clean, welcoming, and aesthetically pleasing. The grounds and landscaping are so well maintained that it immediately puts you at ease. It truly feels like a hidden gem. Thomas was personable, patient, and incredibly accommodating. The picture slideshow he created for our celebration of life was the most professional one I’ve ever seen. It was meaningful, polished, and truly honored my father-in-law’s memory. We held his celebration of life there after his cremation, and it was a beautiful service from start to finish. Heritage Funeral Home is, without a doubt, the best kept secret in the area. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

“My dad passed a way the day before Thanksgiving. I had never heard of Heritage Funeral Home, and was expecting my mom would use another funeral home, but she said she and dad had decided on Heritage before his passing. Heritage did great service to my dad and for my family. Thomas was very understanding, and willing sacrificed parts of his Thanksgiving to help us during our time of loss. I am so thankful they were there for my mom and our whole family. My dad’s funeral was beautiful, even in our grief. Thank you so much, for all that you did for us .”
