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.

“Becker Funeral home is a very professional and dignified establishment. Jake took good care of my family during this difficult time and he was very knowledgeable, respectful, and professional during the whole process.”
— Shant Kouyoumdjian
“Becker Funeral Home, and especially Justin, were truly exceptional during one of the hardest times of our lives. My dad was Jewish, as are my sisters, while my stepmom is Christian. My dad wanted a Jewish burial, and although we brought in a rabbi, we chose a non-denominational funeral home. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to honor my dad’s wishes and our family’s traditions. Justin and the entire team worked seamlessly with the rabbi, ensuring every detail of a Jewish burial was handled with care and respect. They provided yarmulkes and mourning cloths for visitors, ner neshama memorial candles, and keriah cloths for our family. They were thoughtful, proactive, and deeply respectful of our traditions. My dad passed right before the Sabbath during a blizzard, and we were also dealing with brutal cold. Justin even provided a basket of hand warmers. That level of foresight and kindness meant so much to us. They were always available and incredibly supportive, providing personal email addresses and cell phone numbers even after hours, so we never felt alone or overwhelmed. They handled everything so we could focus on grieving and being together as a family without added stress. We are deeply grateful for their compassion, flexibility, and professionalism, and I cannot recommend Becker Funeral Home and Justin highly enough.”

“My Mother past away about 1 month ago and I feel compelled to right a review for Becker Funeral Home. Our dealings were with Justin Berardi and he could not have been more professional, compassionate, understanding and respectful. He guided us through the entire process and we are extremely thankful. The 2 gentlemen who handled everything the day of the service and burial were also compassionate and caring. They fulfilled all aspects professionally and with compassion. I could not recommend them any more highly and would like to let their supervisors and owners know that these men represented their company and services in a manner that they would be proud of.”
