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.

“A truly exceptional funeral home. During one of the most difficult times of our lives, losing two of our family members in the same week, this funeral home provided comfort, professionalism, and unwavering support. From the first phone call to the final farewell, every member of the staff demonstrated genuine compassion and a deep commitment to helping families navigate loss with dignity and ease. The directors, specifically John and Margaux, were attentive and patient, taking the time to understand our wishes and guiding us through each step with clarity. They handled every detail seamlessly—arrangements, paperwork, coordination, and accommodations—so our family could focus on honoring our loved ones. The facilities themselves were warm, serene, and impeccably maintained. The services were both beautifully organized, with thoughtful touches that made the ceremony deeply personal and meaningful. We were especially grateful for the staff’s sensitivity, respect, and ability to anticipate our needs throughout the process. In a time when grace and guidance mean everything, Pyne Keohane exceeded every expectation. Their dedication to serving families with care and integrity is truly exceptional. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

“Cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire staff. They are truly amazing. From the beginning through the entire process. Frank was so patient, I felt like he held our families hand throughout the entire process, Peg was fantastic during the wake, everyone remarked at just how wonderful she and the entire staff were to them. The entire staff may be the most caring and compassionate group of individuals we have met. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this group during such a trying time. Kathie in the aftercare program making sure all our aftercare needs are being taken care of. During the most trying time in my families life they made this experience so much easier. I would recommend them to everyone.”

“My Uncle let me know his wishes to use Pyne Keohane Funeral Home for his final arrangements. I couldn't have been more pleased with their thoroughness, professionalism and compassion. They walked me through the process at my pace, outlining all of my options. They understood how much was going on outside of the arrangements and found a way to gently follow-up so we had everything set up and completed in a timely fashion. The day was a beautiful celebration of my Uncle's life.”
