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.

“The staff was very caring & considerate. The room in which my godmother was laid was very nice, the atmosphere, lighting, number of tables & chairs were more than adequate. My loved one looked beautiful. Friends & family really appreciated that. Restroom was very good. Coffee was available. Parking & location was good. It would be nice if they could paint the exterior of the building & add some plants or flowers outside.”
