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.

“Losing my dad wasn’t easy and I didn’t know what to do or where to take him… I couldn’t be happier knowing that they took him to the best place which is Luyben Dilday. This place is incredible caring. Randy, thank you sooooooo much for helping us throughout this rough time. You’re an amazing, kind, caring, and thoughtful person. My family and I are very grateful for all of your support and encouragement in our saddest moment. We couldn’t have asked for a better person than you Randy. Thank you so much again and God bless you and everyone in Luyben Dilday.”

“The whole staff did an absolute wonderful service for our Dad. I cannot recommend them enough, whether it was the girl who answered the phone, Art helped with the financials and the service as well as Daniel, and the girl who helped when it came to helping us get Dad ready. They made beautiful flower arrangements and when I forgot about the boutonnieres, Art even got that handled the day before the service. Everyone really was so kind and you could really tell they cared. We even had some last-minute changes and they just worked with it and made it all go smoothly, at this time in your life when you’re dealing with lots of stress and sorrow they really came through and we are so grateful. Thank you all so much everyone! We just really wanted you to know how very appreciated you all were.”

“How does one begin to suddenly lose a family member. Fortunately both my parent's made their arrangements years prior with Art N. so when my father passed first in 2021 we knew what to do. Since he is a Air Force Veteran, my mother will be buried with him so his beautiful Urn, which was chosen by him, was kept with me in my living room waiting for his bride of 70 years. In October 2024 we received the news of the sudden passing of my mother and again, the procedure was duplicated. Being an only child I could not stress enough how grateful to both my parent's for pre-arranging for the inevitable. I wanted to honor them both together so the staff at Luyben helped me with all the details for a beautiful service Officiating with a Priest and current Air Force Representatives for a Formal Military Honor including the folding of the Flag. I cannot thank Luyben's Mortuary enough how professional and caring Art, Martin, Wendy, Daniel and Kevin for their utmost assistance for a memorable service for both my parents. Thank you.”
