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.

“Rob Timblin made the entire process of putting together a funeral for my dad as seamless and as painless as possible. He checked with me often to ensure that all details and questions got taken care of properly. Rob is the consummate professional. He was always respectful and patient in answering my endless questions and even arranged for an Honor Guard to travel to Pennsylvania to give my dad a military sendoff as well. My family and I greatly appreciate his efforts and those of all the Faries employees who were involved in my dad’s final care. I HIGHLY recommend Faries to any family who suffers the passing of a loved one. They are very detail oriented and meticulous in the services they provide. Many thanks Rob and Faries!💝”

“Rob, the funeral Director was hands-on from the very beginning with my dad‘s needs when I got the call from the nursing home that my dad passed. I had to act immediately. I did the fairies funeral home as my go to company to fill my dad‘s needs when I initially called Various funeral. I was multitasking an issue and hung up abruptly, but Rob called me right back and identified himself as the funeral director and he listened to me patiently, and I told him the situation that I had. Presently, before me within the next hour, Rob and his associates, picked my father up at the Evergreen Post Acute nursing home The transition was very professional Swift and certain. we aren’t at our game plan for dad‘s viewing and services as well as the Veterans Memorial Cemetery burial. He and the staff were there the whole way with any and all questions I had during the course of the week prior to that funeral. The viewing service’s burial & post reception hall went well,Rob was always there with the upmost, patience and compassion. I highly recommend Rob and his associates for any and all of your family Crisis needs…”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Faries Funeral Directors. From the moment we arrived, the entire experience was handled with compassion, professionalism, and genuine care during one of the most difficult times for our family. Rob was truly exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating, guiding us through every step with warmth and reassurance. His calm presence and thoughtful attention to detail made an overwhelming situation feel manageable, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about honoring my aunt and supporting our family. The rest of the staff was equally impressive—kind, respectful, and highly professional at all times. Every interaction reflected dignity and empathy, and nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal. The premises itself is beautiful and impeccably maintained. Everything was spotless, peaceful, and welcoming, which made a meaningful difference during such an emotional day. Faries Funeral Home helped make a very tough time a bit easier for our family, and for that we are deeply grateful. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of compassionate, professional funeral services.”
