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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Felt very rushed and they lied about the state of NJ not allowing coffee into funeral homes . Would never recommend anyone saying their goodbyes here. 20 min before the viewing was over chairs were being closed and people were being told to starting saying bye .”
— Sin Slays
“Dealing with the passing of our mother was very difficult but Lori and Joseph handled everything so nicely. They were kind, compassionate and very understanding and did their best to help us as much as possible. We cannot thank them enough for their help and professionalism. Their Funeral home is cameral and comfortable.”
— Ewa Niedzwiecka-Wresilo
“Lori and Joe were very professional and comforting, two of the most important aspects of a well-run funeral home. They made the process as seamless as could be in a very stressful time and took care of my mother with the utmost care and respect. They have always treated my family with respect in very hard times. I would highly recommend them. You cannot find nicer people to deal with.”
— Christopher Krukar
