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.

“The team they have at this funeral home is absolutely amazing. My husband has just died recently unexpectedly in a traffic accident and I went in there and not knowing where to start how to start or what I needed. The team there sent me right down we walked in we started talking about things. Before I knew it we had almost everything figured out within about an hour. The hospitality that this funeral home has will always be in my heart right alongside my husband. For the wonderful and amazing job that they did. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
