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 had my father’s funeral here about 7 years ago and most recently had my mother’s funeral arrangements done here. They did an amazing job with my parents. Kayla , is an amazing funeral director. She made my mom look so beautiful for the wake. She listened to our concerns and accommodated all of our needs . We had to change the date at the last minute due to the Snow storm. Kayla and her team jumped in right away to make the necessary changes at the last minute to be able to allow for the date change. Losing a loved one is very difficult. It’s super stressful to plan your parent’s funeral but Kayla and the team at Provenzano went above and beyond and made things a lot easier and less stressful. They are true professional. The place is very nice and decorated . The upstairs room can accommodate many people and there is a separate sitting area for close family and kids. Very clean and high end looking. Bathrooms were upgraded and look brand new. I can’t say enough about the team at Provenzano . Kayla was amazing . Thank you for all that you did for us!”

“We used this funeral home for a relative and wow the staff wise amazing. They took there time to explain everything to us. They didn't try to force us to pay a high price but provided all options of what is required and what is optional. The space is clean and comfortable. One thing I truly appreciated is that the space is bright and lots of lights. Many funeral homes are dark and depressing. But this place was warm and inviting space . They took care of contacting the cemetery for us and picking up the body . They were in constant communication with us. They also provided a website for our loved one that all could go to and digital video based on photos we provided. If you are in need of services I highly recommend them.”

“Kayla and her team were exceptional! The care with which they treated our family and guests during the service for my mother was beyond compare. During the arrangements Kayla worked with us closely to create an atmosphere in which we could celebrate the 102 years that my mother lived. Everything went perfectly as planned, and while we mourned her loss we were happy to see that she was treated like the Queen she was.”
