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.

“I and my family would thank the staff at the Charles F. Snyder Funeral Home & Crematory (Willow Street Pike Home) for all of their assistance during the recent unfortunate passing of our loving father/husband/grandfather, etcetera. From the first pre-planning meeting that we had with Christina Moses, Hector Valdez and their intern (sorry, I didn't recall her name), everything went extremely well. While this was an event that no one would ever want to have to plan, it is something that we all will sooner or later will inevitably have to take care at a very difficult time. Christina and Hector treated us with the utmost respect and dignity during each step of this planning process. This included the selection of the casket, the floral arrangement, musical playlist played during the services and the prayer cards and folders. Pam McCauley did a wonderful job with the prayer cards/folders and the pictures that we brought in for the video tribute! They maintained constant communication with us to ensure that everything was being properly taken care of, to include any changes that needed to be made or anything that we needed to add. Kathryn Helt also helped to make sure that everything was as planned and expected at the viewing. Again, while a funeral service for a loved one is never a pleasant experience, all of the above named staff members and others that assisted, treated us with the utmost respect and dignity during every step while being very professional and courteous to everyone of our family members and friends. You were comforting to us all during a very difficult time! We also appreciate you maintaining contact with me/us even after the services were completed! God bless you all!”

I would definitely recommend anyone who is having a hard time deciding where to go or who to turn to that they reach out to Charles Snyder for the staff there really care not only about the job they do and the person they are doing it for but also the loved ones of the deceased as well. Thank you Charles F Snyder. - Doritta Nunn”
