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.

“From the moment we walked in, we were treated with compassion, patience, and genuine kindness during one of the most difficult times our family has faced. Matthew went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled thoughtfully and with care. Nothing ever felt rushed, and every request was met with understanding and grace. The entire staff was incredibly accommodating, making what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and supported. Their attention to detail and willingness to help in ways that truly mattered to our family did not go unnoticed. We are deeply grateful for the professionalism, warmth, and humanity shown to us, and we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need of funeral services.”
