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.

“I lost my husband, John, after 25 years and a lifetime together. No one tells you that when this happens you go into a shock where your body goes through the motions but you feel like your living a nightmare. Thankfully, there are angels on this earth like Jerilyn, who've been there, who understands your pain and can help navigate the process with ease. She was truly a godsend to me and my family. Thank you.”

“I have had the opportunity to deal with Mr. & Mrs. Reardon, their son Terrance as well as Kristina and JeriLyn; each and every one of them really were put on this plant to care for people in what is most likely one of, if not the worst time in their lives. Kindhearted, compassionate, respectful and organized are a few words that come to mind when I think of them. Thank you for what you do for the families you serve.”
— Mike Czup
“The staff at Higgins-Reardon were so helpful with planning everything for my mother’s funeral. They are professionals and completely understand how to handle and adapt to complex situations. The entire staff was wonderful to work with but I have to give a special shout out to Sister Pat. She was so caring and thoughtful and really went above and beyond to help our family during such a difficult time. While I’m sure most funeral homes will show some level of caring, the staff at Higgins-Reardon really understand empathy and showed a sense of caring and helpfulness beyond the standard. I highly recommend them.”
