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.

“I lost my husband unexpectedly in June. He spent many years in Taunton as a child, so we decided to have his services there. Riendeau handled all of the details.They were absolutely wonderful…kind and compassionate from start to finish. A few weeks after my husband’s funeral, I received an envelope from Riendeau - they had mailed to me a card that my husband’s colleagues had sent to them. The card was filled with lovely anecdotes about Steve. It was beautiful.They did not have to do that. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you so much, Charli and Robert.”
