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.

“Dunbar staff members exhibited the utmost compassion and support for our family during our difficult time with my father's passing. My father's service was beautiful and they honored his life. Mike at Dunbar Northeast was exceptionally supportive. He handled so many issues for us - he was so very kind and gracious. William and Greg assisted us with finalizing my father's arrangements by coordinating with the Fort Jackson National Cemetery and the Military funeral detail, processing the documents for my father's death certificate, taking the burden off of us. We are very grateful for all their assistance, compassion, professionalism, understanding, and sensitivity. My husband and I have already made our arrangements with Dunbar - this brings us peace that our children and grandchildren will someday also receive Dunbar's kindnesses.”
