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 was very bad with my grandmother, who was the deceased. The process of sending her back to her country was slow; part of the process had to be done by the family, and aesthetically they didn't fix her up as requested. It was a total disappointment.”

“Our young grandson passed away July 18, 2019. Preparing for his funeral was extremely difficult especially while dealing with other family members and keeping things civil. I found the interaction with funeral directors, Russ and Steve to be most comforting. They were compliant to our requests and corrected those items we wanted changed. They were professional, courteous and oversaw all aspects of the viewing with ease. They checked on us regularly if there was anything they could do, and showed compassion in our distress. Laughlin’s services were utilized for both my parents funerals back in 98 and 09. We would more than likely use their services again, hopefully in a very distant future.”
— Linda Bellamy
“Laughlin hosted both of my parent’s visitation and funeral services. Sarah and her team are very attentive and kind. They made us feel like family during our hard times. I appreciate how much they cared about my family and it showed in everything they did”
