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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“This is the place where you want to be when the need for empathy, compassion and respect comes to your soul and mind. Thank you, Vera for all your support and love. All the blessings and health for you and your family. Thanks 🙏”
— George Ciprian
“I was very hesitant on this place based on the reviews. I cannot express how thankful and impressed I was with their services. Manny was extremely professional, sympathetic and compassionate beyond words. My sister passed away on Thanksgiving Day and a week later (by choice) we did her services here although it could’ve been sooner. He was very informative with everything. Communication was excellent. Every step of the way till the very end he kept us up to date. My sister looked naturally beautiful just how she was and we wanted her to be. Everything was handled with so much care and detail. And although this is such a hard time for our family especially during the holiday season we were at ease that we could trust this funeral home with my sister. Manny treated us with such grace and kindness during this difficult time. We are Beyond Thankful !”
