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.

“Dear Team at Thompsons Funeral Home, I want to extend my deepest gratitude for the care, compassion, and professionalism you showed while handling my mother’s services. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, your guidance and steady support brought comfort and reassurance to our entire family. Every detail was handled with dignity and respect. From the initial planning conversations to the service itself, your team demonstrated empathy, patience, and genuine kindness. You made sure my mother was honored beautifully, and that meant more to us than words can fully express. Losing a mother leaves an immeasurable void, but knowing her final arrangements were entrusted to such capable and compassionate hands provided peace during our grief. Thank you for treating our family with such warmth and for helping us celebrate her life in a meaningful way. With sincere appreciation,”

“Thompson's had handled funerals for many of my wife's family through the years, so when the need arose I knew whom to call. Professionalism, reliability and flexibility are generally expected and they excel in those areas. But it's the personal touch and the compassionate guidance that was so meaningful at the most difficult time in my life. Steve took care of everything. The best!”
— Joe Koury
