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.

“We had a wonderful experience working with Jack, the owner and funeral director. He was professional, organized, and compassionate from start to finish. Losing a parent is incredibly difficult, and he handled everything in a way that did not add any additional stress to our family. His office is clean and modern, and nothing about the process felt morbid or uncomfortable. He was open, communicative, and clear every step of the way. We chose a simple cremation, which was exactly what our parent requested. Unlike many funeral homes that make the process feel transactional with constant upselling, this experience felt respectful and straightforward. From the moment Jack personally picked up our dad from the hospital morgue to returning him home to us in an urn, the entire process took less than a week. He handled everything himself with care and professionalism. Knowing that our dad was looked after by Jack during his final moments was deeply comforting, especially during a time when we no longer had control. He was truly in good hands, and I highly recommend Jack to anyone looking for a caring, straightforward alternative to a traditional funeral home. The way I found his company was through a recommendation from ChatGPT as the best service in Omaha. And it turns out it was right!”

“Could not have asked for a better experience. When our world was devastated, Jack was absolutely amazing! Kind, compassionate, and professional. Filled out the information on his site, a short phone call from him to confirm a few things, and he took care of the rest.”
