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.

“They did a great job working with us for my dad’s funeral. They went above and beyond to follow his wishes of being put in a wooden casket built by fellow Veterans. The staff and facility are very professional.”

“Darren and Nicole Hickey have been incredibly patient in working with us in all the little details of a funeral and stone placement. They guided us through all the steps of an out of state situation. They were very helpful and accommodating in all aspects of the funeral, making it as easy as possible for us during a difficult time in our life. All the while, they informed us of the different cost savings options that were available. Caring. Considerate. Available. Efficient.”
— Kim M Olson
“I was at a complete loss I have been meaning to say how much your help meant to me. Even through the down pour of rain you were there. I've no experience in funerals but from other story's I've heard I was in the best hands. Thank you so much. God bless”
