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.

“Grew up next door and sadly had a few funerals to attend here over course of my life and one being my mom. So far these people seem very professional and communicative and for whole family and deceased not just one and as well ensuring the deceased are cared for. They have made me feel comfortable communicating about any concerns and done the best they can to guide and inform anyway possible. Always professional it seems they even helped my mom time to time as well, but simply just doing what they noticed would help like clearing snow for her at times too. Seem like great ppl all around :) and Tryed to have everyone included some aspect despite complex family situation for my mother as well. Yes you guys may be having me there in future once I get over the fear of making a will and not scared it’s bad luck.”

“My parents pre-paid for their funerals at Falconer Funeral Home and I thank them for that! Matt and Dave were very professional --there when we needed them but unobtrusive. They did a wonderful job for both of my parents and for us as a grieving family.”
— Amy Anderson
“I can't begin to thank Dave and Jake enough for the kindness they showed for my mother Gertrude Fitch. Mom was transported from Texas to New York after she passed. Dave arranged for everything. Mom passed after midnight and Dave was right there to make all of the arrangements. They have compassion for the entire family. The service for mom was just beautiful and I know she is looking down and smiling on the Falconer Funeral Home.”
