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.

“For my folks living in Allentown, I want to recommend Paul based on the level of compassionate care provided to both the living and the deceased. He took care of my best friend, her father, and now my father. He went above and beyond to help us every single time and never tries to upsell, always going above and beyond to help. He mailed me my father’s personal effects since I live out of state and helped me make the best of a terrible situation. Thank you to Paul and his staff; we are forever grateful”

“I had a pleasant experience coordinating funeral services for my grandmother who passed away last Saturday. I didn’t know how this place is or how the services will be given that google has minimal information available. So I was just trusting Paul and leaving rest up to God. I live in California and coordinating the services from another end of the coast was extremely seamless. Paul offered me best rate and told me to pay my 100% attention to the services and rest will be taken care of post-services. In today’s world, it is hard to find people like this. I have immense respect for Paul. This was my first time arranging this type of services but Paul’s calmness, his great attitude and honest and humble nature helped me get through. Even on the day of services, he helped me and family all the way till the end. He guided us on what to expect and even reminded me of what to expect in a Hindu ritual for cremation as he had worked with the priest before. Paul and his team got my grandmother ready very nicely in her favorite clothes and made sure she was wrapped with warm clothes as she departed to another side of the world. My family and I will be forever grateful and thankful to Paul. Thank you thank you Paul! And I hope we do not meet again in this way!!”

“This is the second time I had to use Paul's services. Each time his service has been incredible. In a time as difficult as this is, he makes things as simple and as easy as possible. He goes well above and beyond. He exemplifies true care and compassion for not just your loved one, but for your loss as a person as well. I would absolutely recommend him. John Dawson Jr.”
