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.

“My mom has been a resident at The Mary Wade Home Boardman Wing assisted living for well over 15yrs.

“My sister has been a resident of the Mary Wade home/boardman for 6 years now. The care that she receives is excellent! Every member of the staff shows compassion and helps her to keep her independence. They are always there for her. This level of care is very hard to come by and gives us peace of mind.”

“Mary Wade has been a true blessing to our brother Douglas and our family over the years. I would personally like to thank Maria, head of Boardman supporting NY Brother in all his needs while there. Thanks also to Kathleen, head of Finance for her support. Thanks also to Rosalyn who was very instrumental in us getting Douglas at Mary Wade. Thank you Mary Wade for allowing Douglas' days there to be very meaningful.”
