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.

“Wolfe-Bayview did such a wonderful funeral service for my wife’s father. They were caring and helped make the planning decisions easy for Renee and me. They made an outstanding tribute for my father-in-law, honoring his many accomplishments. Renee and I are grateful to the staff of Wolfe-Bayview. Don and Renee Andrews”

“This place has been a gigantic disaster from go. My mom in law passed away October 20th. They had us down there on the 21st and the funeral direct seemed like she had no idea what she was doing during the meeting. We had pre-paid funeral insurance and she didn't seem to know what that is or how it worked and originally only planned to credit us what what paid for the insurance. It took 3 days to get that figured out. Then we couldn't sign the contract because they didn't know how to work the printer. After that it took over 2 weeks to get mom's ashes back and I'm pretty sure it's because they forgot to order the urn. Then they messed up everyone's names on the death certificate and it was a battle to get them to fix it without charging us, still waiting on those. Also we ordered what we were told was a charm bracelet for my daughter only to discover yesterday that even though we paid for it they never ordered it and apparently it's just the heart charm. And then yesterday we also discovered they never contacted the social security administration like they said they were so now we have to do it a month later. Do not use this funeral home unless you want a stressful time to become even more stressful. They also never posted her Obit 😔”
