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.

“A little over a month ago I lost my father after suffering a long battle of health concerns after a tragic TBI. Doug and his staff were incredibly empathetic and helpful every step of the way. I’m so happy they were able to help me and my husband with all of the planning which can be very overwhelming when you’re actively grieving and processing such a profound loss. Doug McHoul and his team were like angels offering us empathy, helping us during a difficult time. Thank you to the entire McHoul staff”

“Posting a review about a funeral home sounded a little strange to me. . But then as I thought about it how would other people know what to expect? So , I decided to tell you my experience. I found Doug & Heather to be 2 of the most professional and caring people I have ever met . From start to end I felt my father was exactly where he needed to be. They took care of everything and I mean things i never would of thought about ? They had it totally under control-100%. I can’t thank them enough for all the courteous care they extended to me and my family. Again, Thank You T. Cicio”
