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.

“They are a caring group of individuals that truly try to be helpful and understanding. They know this is a difficult time and never rush you. I felt we were treated with dignity and kindness. I highly recommend this funeral home for going the extra mile. My only suggestion is to try to enlarge their state room and at a large funeral the parking is often very crowded. Their chapel for services is small also but otherwise it is the place to have decisions made.”
