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.

“Dealing with death is never easy. We had an unexpected death in our family and DFS - Liddy- were amazing. Liddy made everything comforting and displayed great patience during this difficult process. DFS also did such a wonderful job with the preparation and presentation of our loved one.”

“Losing my Father has been the most painful experience in my life. Despite having multiple close calls, nothing prepared me for the vast void left by his loss. Direct Funeral and Cremation Services staff made the process smooth and seamless. They are patient, professional, caring, empathetic, and compassionate. My family entrusted my brother's Services to them when he was murdered in 2001. They have continued to deliver the same quality of service you would only expect at the most expensive facility. We are grateful your business is sensitive to families' budgetary needs. Despite a competitive price structure, you manage to deliver red carpet, and velvet glove service at a fraction of the cost. Thank you so much for your kindness during such a difficult time. I highly recommend your services.”

“Losing a loved one is never easy but Direct Funeral and Cremation Services made it easier. They came highly recommended by the nurses at hospice and I see why. The prices were affordable and and there was no pressure or games. I worked with Robert and he made the process go smoothly from start to finish. Richard and Ed came to pick my husband up from hospice. They were very patient and sweet. They left a very good first impression.”
