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.

“Lisa, Anthony, and the entire Biondi Funeral Home staff were so supportive and compassionate during the entire process, from the planning of the services all the way to the interment. The wake and funeral services were a beautiful tribute to my father. Lisa is so caring and has such a calming presence. I felt so much more relaxed and definitely less stressed during the preparations. She even called a few days afterwards to make sure the family was okay. I highly recommend the Biondi family funeral services. We are forever grateful for the friendship and empathy that they showed to all of us.”

“I just got off the phone with Lisa. She said my mother whose remains I picked up yesterday had no jewelry on when she arrived at funeral home. I was clear minded enough to ask for the death certificates that she forgot to give me but I forgot to ask for the jewelry that she was wearing. I witnessed my mother’s removal from her house. Lisa said they checked for a pacemaker but she didn’t have the earrings and cross that she always wore. If anyone finds themself in a similar situation hopefully you’ll remember and not be so grief stricken to remove your loved one’s valuables Better still pick another funeral home. I honestly can’t think how people could be so….”

They did amazing work, they took care of everything, and made us feel at ease. The services they provided were top notch. I would strongly recommend them!!”
