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.

“I can't begin to describe the level of care, kindness and consideration this group, especially Ted Hazz showed to me and my family! I live out of state and was only in town a couple of days! They went above and beyond to make it possible for me to be a part of my fathers very quick and probably unorthodox burial! I am eternally greatful to this funeral home and the staff! Thank you so much!”

“I have used Ed and Don Decarbo's service two times now and they do a fantastic job. Vince makes you feel like he is one of your family and will guide you through from start to finish. What a professional organization. 10 stars in my book.”
— Orlando Crivelli
“Not happy with how we were treated. Had a small memorial service with 10 people for our son and after the service was over we were all but pushed out the door. Seemed all that he wanted to do was get out of there as fast as possible. Would not recomend!”
— Marc Tellevik
