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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Levine Memorial Chapel recently handled my mother‘s funeral. They were absolutely wonderful, patient, kind, and professional. My mother was transported to New Jersey to be buried next to my father and all aspects of the service were flawless. They went out of their way to make sure that I received my death certificates in a timely manner. I very strongly recommend them to the community.”

“The Miller–Hornick family is deeply grateful to Levine Memorial Home for their professionalism and compassionate care of our beloved husband and father, Dr. David Hornick. Frank was exceptionally kind and informative throughout the process. It was especially meaningful that Levine Memorial Home also cared for my father many years ago, as well as for patients of both my husband and me over the years. We are forever grateful. Dr. Roberta Miller, Sara & Karli Miller-Hornick.”

“Levine Memorial Chapel has set high standards for the people of the Capitol District. Moms recent funeral exceeded even those standards of service and compassion. As terrible as it is to plan a funeral I am grateful to Frank for coordinating a stress free perfect one. Mom would be happy.”
