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.

“Rick made an extremely difficult time more bearable. He was there offering support and advice through every step (even with a little added humor). He definitely went above and beyond. All the special gifts and remembrances continued to come weeks after the funeral. My family really appreciates every thought and effort that was put into the funeral planning. We put together a funeral in two days on a Sunday, complete with military presence of the Marines and honor guard. Rick made sure that happened for my dad and for our family. He will never know how much that meant to all of us. I could go on and on. But the bottom line is Rick and Fagen Miller in St. John Indiana is the best. I would not go anywhere else. I 100% recommend them.”

“Rick Miller and his team were there for us at our darkest hour. We asked the hospital to contact Fagen Miller Funeral Home, expecting to get a call during business hours. Rick responded immediately - even though it was two o’clock in the morning! Every aspect of their services exceeded our expectations. The facility was beautiful, and their prices were very reasonable. They helped us say goodbye with a lovely ceremony that we will never forget.”

“Allison Book was wonderful in handling my husband's funeral arrangements. Her flexibility in meeting with us quickly, as it was a sudden passing, was so appreciated. She paid close attention to all fine details, was understanding, everything was perfect during one of the worst times in my family's lives. The day after the service, we picked up the flowers and met Rick, who was also very professional and helpful regarding the next steps. Thank you Fagen-Miller.”
