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.

“Hello everyone. My father recently passed and as untimely as death is-the people at H/S made the process bare-able, as well as gave us a peace of mind that we were in good hands. Mrs Kimberly walked me and my sister through what we needed to do, and Courtney was a complete gem during the services. Playing music for us, helping ushering people in (and out lol) and leading us in the way things should go. At the burial, Eric (hearse driver) was awesome. Literally felt like he was one of us, and even helped carry my father to his resting place. Brother-I thank you so much for that. Courtney was very professional in the way she did things-of course as this is her job, BUT-we wanted to say thank you in it that when she spoke it wasn’t a robotic “sorry for your loss”, from her and Eric you could tell it was genuine. Officer Freeman was the reason we chose this place as he was a long term friend/co worker of my dads, and I’m so glad we did. From the Jenkins family and friends we thank you all for making this moment so memorable. -Jr”

“Review of Hutchens Funeral and Cremation Center – St. Charles After my wife, Diane Estepp, passed away, my family and I were truly blessed by the care we received from Hutchens Funeral and Cremation Center in St. Charles. While we had made our funeral arrangements the year before, it wasn’t until that difficult moment arrived that we fully appreciated the level of compassion and professionalism this team provides. From the moment we met with Kimberly Colbert, the funeral director, we knew we were in good hands. Kimberly was absolutely outstanding—she went out of her way to guide us through the process with patience, warmth, and thoughtful suggestions that helped make everything just right. She ensured that every detail of Diane’s service reflected the dignity and love Diane deserved. The entire staff at Hutchens was equally attentive and caring. One small but meaningful gesture that stood out was the thank-you cards they provided for those who had shown support during our time of loss. Those little details spoke volumes about how much they truly care. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the way you treated my wife and supported our family. You helped us honor her memory with grace, beauty, and respect. Martin Estepp”

“My mother in-law did some arrangement ahead of time and they walked us through what needed to be finalized. From the first phone call we had to make to us leaving, our director Abby was wonderful. She made a very tough time for our family go very smoothly.”
