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.

“Thank you, Darling & Fischer, Los Gatos, for your exceptional support after my husband's passing from Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Despite my lack of experience and personal challenges, your professional team—especially Nicholas W., Carlos, Greg, Jeanette, the front desk staff, Reverend Debbie, and Mo—guided us compassionately through a dignified celebration of life with military honors. Your care and attention to detail made a difficult time much easier, and I am truly grateful. Danean (Dana) Dickson”
