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.

“It is still with a heavy heart with the recent passing of my wife's mother that I am writing this review. She had cared for our families like a grandmother would, never ending meals, countless gifts, and unconditional love. Nothing had prepared our families for such a sudden and tragic event, and at such an early age. During painful times like these, it is good to know that we were in good hands with Graham-Hitch. The staff members were very professional, understanding, and showed such hospitality. The rooms were private, very well maintained, and caters to all cultural and religious backgrounds. Our families and those attended were were pleased with the quality of services received, from wonderful staff members and the overall facility. Thank you everyone, at Graham-Hitch.”

“This is a slowly evolving review of the facilities. Normally, this isn't something you would regularly review unless it happens to you. In this case we had the unfortunate circumstance where my father passed away on Christmas Eve. Since we had no advance directive on what to do when it happens, we struggled to research facilities that handled cremation. Here's the bottom line. If a loved one is in the morgue in the hospital, the hospital will only hold the body for a few days before moving it to somewhere else. Since my father passed away just before a holiday, we had an additional day before we had to scramble to find a mortuary. We met Dennis at their office in Danville. He provided step-by-step instructions on what to do. We did check out other facilities, and eventually came back here. Value wise, is was cheaper than Queen of Heaven ($9,000) and Oakmont ($32,000) to bury our father. Cost wise, it WAS better value here at Graham-Hitch. The benefit here is the use of their facilities which is nondenominational, meaning you can have a religious leader of any religion hold a service here. The room, which had no photos available (so I took some) can hold up to 200 people. They also have an AV room with drop down screen. They quickly moved my father to their refrigeration after we confirmed the paperwork. Our service is in a week.”

“I can't say enough positive things about the caring, kind, compassionate people who work here. From the first phone call and all through the entire process, I felt we were in the hands of the most competent people. They made everything much easier and as pleasant as possible.”
