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 father suddenly passed away recently. Mr. Charles Zannino made this process so easy. He came to our house to retrieve the body from my dad's bedroom and was so respectful of our house and family during this tragic time. The next day we arranged to go to set up the service arrangements. He met us outside, brought us into his office and walked us through everything. It was so easy because of how professional and respectful he was. The service was incredible. He took care of us the entire time. He collected all of the prayer cards and flower cards for us. He knew we were exhausted and said we can call him the next day to decide if we wanted to pick the flowers up. Truly, I don't think my family could have gotten through this if it were not for Mr. Charles Zannino.”
— Corey Johns
“I can't begin to thank Charles Zannino enough for all the help he provided me during the funeral for my husband. He guided me through the whole process and helped me make some very tough decisions. Even my friends who were a little apprehensive about attending in the city said they were impressed with the way he and his staff looked out for them to make sure they got in and out safely. Charles is a true professional.”
— Audrey Johns
“I had a wonderful experience with Charles. He is available around the clock and has been in the business his entire life. When my father passed unexpectedly, he helped me along the way and everything ran smoothly.”
— A Tana
