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.

“Our experience with Lechner Funeral Home was second to none. They handled our situation with professionalism and kindness. I am very grateful.”
— Seany Jacobs
“A first-class experience. You go into something you've never had to think about before and you are very vulnerable. Rich Jr., Donna and the entire team at Lechner offer a no-pressure, custom experience that made the process of paying respects to my dad as smooth as it could be. There was no pressure or upselling on anything related to cremation. The ceremony was perfectly coordinated with St. Mary of the Lakes in Medford. And they had every detail down, remembering so many small details about our family that we told them. Same with death certificate coordination and retrieval, which was essential as we deal with my dad's estate. God willing - this is something I won't have to think about for at a minimum, another 17 years (I had such a streak going!), but if I do, I won't even give it a second thought - I will use Lechner.”
— Nick Langan
“They were the most respectful, understanding and compassionate funeral home to deal with. In hard times, They helped us make choices that I never thought we could do on our own. I recommend this funeral home to anyone going through the grieving process!”
— J Lynch
