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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Rob and his team have been great. Very kind and accommodating. Losing a loved one is never easy, but they definitely helped by making the process smooth and simple. We appreciate all they have done for our family and would recommend them in a heartbeat.”

“I can't say enough about Rob and Tracy Ricciuti and the service they provided when my dad passed. The compassion, empathy, attention to detail, advice...was exceptional. I was so worried about everything, most importantly how my dad would look. Morbid, I know, but so important. My dad looked so incredible, peaceful...that everyone commented on it. Somehow they made him look younger. In times like this, they are exactly who you want to guide you....”
— Lisa Dadio
