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.

“Bethesda Memorial did a beautiful job on my mother-in-law's funeral. I really couldn't have asked for more, and one of the highlights was that the program was the prettiest one I've ever seen! And the memorial video they created for us was amazing too. We must have watched it like 30 times and enjoyed each view.”

“My name is Gayle Myers. My cousin passed away in March, 2018. Bethesda Funeral Services did a wonderful job. My brother passed away in April of 2018 so we used Bethesda Funeral Services again. My brother looked exactly like himself. We were very pleased. I then lost my son in June of 2018. Bethesda Funeral Services did the most awesome job on my son's funeral. We could not have asked for anything more. They treated us as we were their family. Even after everything was over, they still continues to contact us to ask how we are doing and if they can do anything else for us. I have never experienced anything like this before. I would recommend Bethesda Funeral Services to anyone in need of funeral services. They do an awesome job.”

“I went to Bethesda after speaking with another funeral home about my moms services. After a brief conversation I knew I had come to the right place, not only is the staff courteous and professional, but from the way they conduct themselves, you would think they are servicing one of their own family members. They truly go above and beyond anything you would expect. Also unlike some places that prey on loved ones at their time of loss, I can honestly say, they have prices to fit any budget, I would definitely recommend anyone to them, and if I’m in need of those services again, I will absolutely go back!”
