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.

“the way that the funeral director of the establishment spoke to me was absolutely appalling. as someone who was born and raised right off of main ave and have always had good memories of everything wynantskill related this is beyond upsetting. i have NEVER written a google review or felt compelled to, so i hope that speaks volumes.”

“My family had a wonderful experience with Wynantskill Funeral Home. Anthony and Tom walked us through the entire process (obituary, caskets, prayer cards, services, tribute video, death certificates, etc.). The funeral home itself was bright and pretty, with nice chairs and multiple TVs to display the tribute video we made. Anthony and Tom also helped with the services themselves, giving the pall bearers special gloves and instructions, stopping traffic on the way to the cemetery, and giving us flowers to leave on the casket. Anthony and Tom were professional and kind, and I'm really glad that they could help us navigate this difficult time.”
