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.

“From the very first moment we met TJ, we knew we were in caring and capable hands. Losing my brother was an incredibly difficult experience, but TJ and the entire funeral home staff handled everything with such compassion, patience, and professionalism that it truly eased our burden. TJ took the time to listen to our family, honor our wishes, and guide us through every step with kindness and respect. Nothing felt rushed or impersonal. Every detail of my brother’s service was handled beautifully and thoughtfully, and the ceremony reflected who he was in a way that brought comfort to all of us. What stood out most was TJ’s genuine care. This was not just a job to him — it was clear he understood the weight of our loss and treated our family with dignity and grace throughout the entire process. The service was organized, seamless, and truly meaningful. Many family members and friends commented on how beautiful and well done everything was. I am deeply grateful to TJ and the funeral home for going above and beyond for our family during such a difficult time. They provided comfort, support, and peace when we needed it most. I would wholeheartedly recommend TJ to anyone in need of a funeral director who truly cares.”

“This facility needs training on how to treat mourners. The administration was totally inept. They were unable to procure a proper death certificate for four weeks with our loved one being refrigerated for all that time. Then, knowing full well that our loved one’s cremated remains were to be flown home, gave the remains in an aluminum box insisting that we the mourners had to call the airlines for TSA rules. We had to return to this facility to get a new container that has to be sealed with tape. Come on Star of David!! Do better!!”
