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.

“My family recommends Deware Funeral Home. Our brother passed away suddenly and the staff was patient, understanding, and empathic. The staff was always available to answer our questions and manage the services perfectly. Dan was so kind and we felt like he was part of our family. Thank you.”

“The team at Deware prepared and carried out an outstanding funeral program for our Mom. Every detail was covered as we have infrequent experience with this, without hard up-selling pitches. The items in the pre-printed funeral package were appropriate and we appreciate their giving us choices and flexibility, and very accommodating every step of the process. We were pleasantly surprised and appreciate immensely the memorial pamphlets for the services, the quality photo memory video, the portrait paintings digitally converted from the photo, and the printed thank you cards with Mom’s photo and a poetic expression inside. Because we had made the arrangements before the event the overall price was also discounted by a good amount. I highly recommend Deware Funeral Home.”
