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.

“Absolutely top notch in all ways possible. The John, Rob, Jackie, Maria, Lisa and all the staff at the Rebello Funeral Home are kind, caring, and thorough individuals. They all aim to provide pertinent and memorable services to the dearly departed and while doing so, comfort those who mourn in a comfortable, tranquil environment. Highly recommended to the residents of East Providence and the entire East Bay area.”
— Matt Pichi
“The most memorable of my experience at Rebello is this, 3 days after attending a wake there I received a promotion mailing, “we would be happy to provide you with an estimate for pre-planned funeral services at no cost or obligation to you.” The only way they would have gotten my name would have been from the Guest Book, where I included my name indicating my attendance for the wake of a friend. Shameful. You can do better Rebello. You can be sure I won’t be making any arrangements here. GEA”
