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 grandfather died about a year ago and it has taken me a while to feel comfortable posting. I have a toddler who was about two at the time. My son was being assisted by an older relative to get a cup of water from the fountain. He found some small entertainment in pressing the button for the fountain, but was not tall enough to touch or splash the water. I was sitting on the other side of the aquarium watching him closely to be sure he was not causing a mess. An employee came over and told him “No” in a very nasty tone. Before I could stand up to distract my child I witnessed the employee look both ways, and then grab my toddler by the skull and toss him across the room. I called the police and filed a report but was told that since there was no camera footage we could not press charges. Stuhrs refused to take action against the employee and barely guaranteed that he wouldn’t be present at the service the next morning. After much argument from my family, they covered the cost of the vault only, but honestly I could have done without the trauma and nightmares for the coming months from the “bad man” who hurt my child.”

“Renae Sistare took care of my funeral plans and she explained it all to me and made me very comfortable with what is going to happen and that it is going to happen the way I want it to happen. The nice part is my husband or children do not have to do anything but give her a call!”
— Ann Gillespie
