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.

“I only go here because you have better produce than Walmart and cheaper than Hardings. Plus I love the sushi. That's what I went in for today but was accosted at the 5 items or less lane by an employee who insisted on checking me out but did nothing about the others checking out. Why am I different then the other people? This is why Walmart stopped checking receipts because they were singling out the people with darker skin. Seems like the same thing is happening here too.”

“Called the store because I live 35+ minutes away (mind you it was like rocket science to reach a human at the store) to check stock on a very specific item, asked to put one of the item on hold for me because I really needed it for a gift and was told “oh, we have like 5 or 6 of them on the shelf I don’t think they’re all going to sell by the time you can get here”. So I make my way to the store only to again be dragged through the wringer and NOT find the product I so desperately needed for my amazing friend. Very poor customer service!!”
— Hanna Stevens
“I was shopping for groceries & store was really crowded. I was comparing prices to where I usually shop and found Meijer's prices for the items i usually shop for were more $ than the store I usually do my grocery shopping. Very disappointed shopping for Woman's incontinence underwear. The only brand of Woman's diapers on Meijer shelves were Depends, so I had ti go to Walmart to get the kind (Assurance) that I usually buy.”
