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.

“At such a difficult time, Dawn and staff were amazing. Above and beyond. We didn't have a typical situation with my dad passing in Florida. We had services first in Florida then in NJ. Dawn was so easy to work with, making sure everything was handled smoothly. At a time like this, having someone guide you through the process with such kindness and professionalism... knowing when to reach out and then when to give you space... it made the entire process better than we could have imagined. Thank you Dawn- you truly have a unique gift that you share with your clients.”

“I have nothing but positive things to say about Simplicity Funeral and Cremation Services at Glackin Chapel. My family and I availed ourselves of their services in late 2022 when my brother passed away suddenly. Dawn Selover and her staff were unfailing helpful, patient and accommodating as we maneuvered our way through the process of cremating and memorializing him. Dawn and her staff arranged almost every aspect of the cremation and memorial service, and very little effort was required on our part. Everything went perfectly. Glackin Chapel provides a warm and cozy environment which greatly helped in the healing process. I highly recommend Simplicity Funeral and Cremation Services at Glackin Chapel.”

“The staff, facilities, and service of the Simplicity Funeral Home in East Windsor, NJ, were excellent. Truly, everything was made very "simple" at a very difficult time. After our first meeting with Dawn Selover, we felt like a huge burden had been lifted from us. Dawn and the rest of the staff made sure that all went smoothly. We are very appreciative!”
