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 experience with Brackett Funeral Home was exceptional. My family did not have time to plan for a funeral home and so when we called in the early evening for their services, they responded with kindness and professionalism. The two gentlemen who arrived that evening were delicate to the situation and helped answer immediate questions. While I do not remember their names, I remember the sense of piece they provided us. They allowed my family to say our immediate goodbyes before leaving. The gentlemen provided a calm and respectful experience for us. Autumn, called us the next morning to discuss funeral arrangements and she was paramount in helping my family make the needed arrangements. She was kind, respectful, and took a lot of pressure off my family's shoulders by providing the necessary guidance for our family. I appreciate the quick responses she provided when we had questions, and her ability to orchestrate the funeral arrangements in a short timeframe. Chris was present for the funeral and offered his support through the ceremonies. He helped our family understand the ceremony cadence and allowed us to conduct the proceedings while still helping when we were stuck. While I hope to not need Brackett Funeral Homes services in the near future, when the time is right, I will be sure to use them again. The family-owned funeral home went above and beyond my expectations and I thank every person involved for their professionalism and kindness through this tragic time in my family's life.”

“I placed my Wife, Amanda in the care of Autumn after being her caregiver for two years while we walked through terminal cancer. Letting go of this honor and responsibility is not easy and comes with a great amount of trust. I built a relationship with the funeral director, Autumn over a period of time. I was also introduced to the owner, Chris. Autumn is an incredibly attentive person that treated my family and me with a great amount of respect, kindness, and empathy. She continually anticipated what we needed and explained fully to me the care and respect that would be shown to Amanda throughout the process. It would be an understatement for me to say that I am a customer with high expectations and in this case I demanded excellence for my Wife. Autumn and the entire team at Brackett exceeded my expectations and I am grateful for the way not only was I treated, but Amanda and my entire family was shown a great level of respect. Thank you Brackett for making this extremely difficult time less painful and stressful. We are grateful and I highly recommend that if you are reviewing this funeral home that you take the time to build a relationship with Autumn she is highly skilled at her job and her attention to detail is impeccable.”

“During a difficult time, Funeral Director Autumn made us feel at ease and answered all our questions/concerns. Even though it was Easter Sunday, she moved into action to get my loved one from the hospital to the funeral home. So kind and considerate to me throughout the process. Thank you Brackett Funeral Home.”
