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.

“Excellent home. Vincent was able to help my family and I through the whole process. It's a difficult time arranging a funeral, and no one likes to remember what it was like actually arranging all of it, but, for those who are looking for help, just know that this is a great home, and I thank them a lot for their help and kind service. They helped my family, and two other families close to ours. High praise from us all.”
— Richard Torres

— Robin Wernik
“If I could give 6 stars I would! Vincent and his staff was A1. My grandmother was transferred from out of state and we contacted Vinnie this was the BEST decision EVER! He was upfront with NO hidden costs. He is organized and punctual, was always available when called. Assisted with every step of planning the funeral even secured the church for us! They do this everyday so we don’t have to!”
