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 only reason I’m even giving this a one star reading is because well that’s the lowest you could pick and the fact that the snacks there were top-quality lol kid tested mother approved other than that if you have lost a loved one looking for a good empathetic, compassionate, equally right minded funeral home That will respect any and all parties DO NOT go here, Never heard of a funeral home reserving the first three rows of seating for family that’s not even blood related and yes, the 5 rows were all empty up till 3 o'clock because the FIRST THREE WERE RESERVED!! And then one person spoke about kayla and when he was finished we were waiting for them to say does anyone have anything to say about kayla or share a memory but nope immediately it was okay you all can say final good byes will start with the last row (which kaylas mother sat it) and when she couldn’t bring herself to say goodbye right away the people there just stared at the family making it uncomfortable when they said we need to move it along instead of having in the in laws go no they still wanted the immediate family to until a couple family members spoke up and said this is the mother she deserves time , they had no idea who the mother was but then said they’ll have to ask permission from the IN LAWS to give the MOTHER a FEW mins. While the family did step into the other room many of them stared in the doorways making it even more uncomfortable for and making kaylas mom making her feel rushed, then when her mom couldn’t breathe and needed to get some air so we brought the mom outside. we remembered our flowers we got for kayla was left inside so we went back to go get them and the door was locked, so yeah that was our experience with this place from the outside and in the inside were lovely, but the way it was handled by those people were atrocious I mean in that profession you show compassion and kindness to EVERYONE whether your friends with the otherside of the family or not”

“NEVER have i EVER given a funeral home A bad review NEVER bc u assume there going’ to treat your family empathy, compassion, and kindness. These people did not, they reserve the first THREE rows for NON immediate family members while the blood relatives and the mother of the deceased sits in a back row, then when finally given 3 minutes so the mother can say goodbye they lock the door the last real family member walks out the door amd it WAS LOCKED we went back to get the flowers we brought and guess what LOCKED, find another funeral home in Queensbury I promise u , you and your family will leave that funeral home more traumatized . *DO NOT RECOMMEND**”

“DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! THEY DID A HORRIBLE JOB ON MY NIECE!!! She didn't even look like herself. They segragated her blood family from friends and made her family sit in the back row! They didn't even know who her mother was! They told us to sign the guest book but had taken it away so her family couldn't sign it rhen proceeded to try and take all the cards so we couldn't get one. They said 2 things about my niece rushed everyone up to view her body which is not what she would have wanted. They push her mother up and wouldn't even allow her to have 5 mins of private time with her daughter. They then rushed her family out and proceeded to lock the door so we couldn't come in but did a service then with her husband and his clientele you call her friends and family! This place is a joke!!! QUEENSBURY LOCATION Very disrespectful! Did a HORRIBLE job!!!”
