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 recently had the privilege of experiencing the care and compassion at Monsour and Patin as they helped lay a dear friend to rest. From the very first call, their staff showed such kindness, patience, and professionalism. Every detail was handled with dignity and respect, which gave the family great peace of mind during such a difficult time. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure the service reflected the life and memory of my friend. Their support made a painful process a little easier, and I am truly grateful for the way they guided the family every step of the way. I would highly recommend Monsour and Patin to anyone in need of caring, professional, and heartfelt services.”

“Ben and Deborah make you feel at home.. They have restored the funeral home to its most beautiful former glory.. It is richly decorated with Ben’s antiques.. When you walk through the door, they make you feel like you were home. They sit down and time does not matter. They will visit with you and help you through all your pre-needs or any other arrangements that you need to discuss… They go above and beyond in their kindness, and it shows in their prices… Anyone would be happy to come through that door…”
