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 staff (Bonnie &Carolyn) demonstrated an incredible level of kindness and compassion, making sure that every mourner in my family felt supported during such a difficult time.

“I could not reccomend our funeral director Christopher Cavagnuolo enough. He helped make a very difficult time alittle easier. From our 1st phone call he showed compassion and understanding what we as a family we going through. He insured that my mom was treated with the dignity and respect she deserved. While presenting our options for her services he never made us feel like he was trying to up sell. He helped make my moms funeral one that we could be proud of. He insured her cremated remains were there in time for her services. The assistance he provided with choosing of her urn, writting of her obituary, selecting her favorite flowers, decideing on her special prayer cards ,picking the perfect readings for church and the suggestions for the after funeral repass were exceptional and made that day uncomplicated and effortless. Thank you just doesn't seem adequate enough.”
