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.

“I recently organized the funeral services through Fairhaven Memorial Services, and I cannot say enough about the care we received. Liana and her team were absolutely amazing. From our very first conversation, Liana was available every step of the way. She took the time to clearly explain the entire process, answered every question with patience, and most importantly, it always felt like she was truly listening. She checked in consistently to make sure we were taken care of throughout the entire experience. During such a stressful and emotional time, having someone who genuinely understands what you’re going through makes all the difference. What stood out most was her heart. You can tell Liana genuinely loves taking care of people. Even when we had requests outside of the standard arrangements, she stepped in willingly and helped with every little detail. We are so grateful for the compassion, professionalism, and personal attention we received. I would highly recommend Fairhaven to anyone needing support during one of life’s most difficult moments.”

“I am deeply grateful for the exceptional care and support provided by Fairhaven Memorial. They treated our family with such honor, respect, and professionalism during a difficult time. Their attention to detail and compassionate service made a significant difference. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of funeral services.”

“My husband passed in January due to Covid. It was a very difficult time, trying to figure out what I needed to do to take care of everything that needed to be done. When I called Fairhaven, I was greeted by Leslie Greer. I knew right then, that she was the person I needed to work with. Leslie was so kind and understanding about everything that needed to be done. She explained all of my options and always with so much compassion. I waited until October to do the service, but Leslie was so patient. I was trying to wait until most of our friends had been vaccinated before I held a service. Leslie made suggestions and showed me samples of the options for the service (displaying Joe’s special interests, chapel and reception set ups, catering, etc.). When the day of the service arrived, everything was absolutely beautiful! The service and reception were exactly what I had wanted. I can’t thank Fairhaven, and especially Leslie, enough, for being there at such a painful time in my life. It was comforting knowing that even though it wasn’t part of her job, Leslie let me know she had been praying for me throughout her time with me. I know if you’re reading this, you have some very difficult days ahead of you. I also know that the staff at Fairhaven, and Leslie, in particular, will help you to get through some of your needs at this difficult time. May God bless you and comfort you.”
