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.

“What an amazing restaurant and venue to celebrate the love of two people! I celebrated my son and daughter-in-law's wedding here. The food was absolutely delicious and our guests couldn't stop raving about the proportions. The venue was great to accommodate everything that my son and daughter-in-law expected for their wedding reception. I highly recommend this restaurant not only for wedding receptions but for casual dining with family and friends.”

“Went there last minute on Valentine's Day, they were very welcoming being so close to closing! Great food and great service! Toni was our waitress and was the best. Not sure of the other lady that seated us but she was awesome to! Thank you Papa Joes for great service and good food”

“Hosted a small dinner with family after a baptism and had a great time! The food was absolutely delicious, service was excellent, and the ambiance was very nice. We were seated in a semi-private area by the fireplace and had a dedicated cake and gift table supplied. The nearby bar was a nice feature too as it was Bears Sunday. Our menu consisted of minestrone soup, hot fresh bread, tossed salad, fried chicken, mostacolli bolognese, sausage and peppers, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and ice cream. The deal was unbeatable! Definitely will be coming again and possibly even catering bigger parties from there in the future. Thanks for a great party! All the guests very much enjoyed as well!”
