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 recently researched the area for a good florist and chose Colony House. I had a concern about the arrangement received; and within a few hours, I was contacted. My concern was discussed and a BEAUTIFUL replacement arrangement was received. Unfortunately,in today's times, there is not a lot of integrity and professional ethics displayed. But this is NOT the case with Colony House of Flowers. The response and genuine care for the "special occasions "of others was much appreciated! Would do business with, and recommend them to anyone! Well done, and Thank you,Colony House of Flowers!”
