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.

“Verheyden Grosse Pointe was exceptional in their provision of services to our family at a difficult time. Their professionalism, courtesy, kindness, compassion, support, understanding, knowledge and follow through made the process as smooth and comfortable as possible. Joseph Aleardi was a true pleasure to work with, helped us from start to finish and beyond, gave us thoughtful guidance and advice, was prompt and thorough, followed up and followed through on every question and detail with the utmost kindness and respect. He generously delivered beautiful prayers at graveside. The beautician and all of the team did a wonderful job. Elizabeth has kindly followed up with us in support. We thank Verheyden and would highly recommend.”
