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.

“Beth Abraham Memorial Chapel made a difficult situation on providing the best care for my loved one's funeral service. Gregory was very attentive and helpful. He took great care over everything from A to Z. Everyone associated with Beth Abraham Memorial Chapel also did an excellent job. From mortuary and Rabbi; great care . I highly recommend this Chapel.”

“I cannot speak highly enough about Beth Abraham Memorial Chapel. The services that I received there -- during what is always a hard time for anyone, the death of a loved one -- were amazing. The staff was comforting, as should be expected, but they went way beyond that. The people at Beth Abraham are also attentive and sensitive and, perhaps most important, helpful. Every detail was attended to. Thankfully, pre-planning had been done in advance of the death, and all I had to do was place a call and then everything was handled efficiently and with the utmost care. I think most can agree that when someone close to you dies, it is often difficult to focus on things like funeral plans and preparation. This is why it is so critical to choose a place that you can rely on in these moments. I whole-heartedly recommend Beth Abraham. If I could add another star to this review, I'd do it.”
