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.

“Salem Funeral Home was very attentive to me and my family's needs. They were very patient and took time to go over everything, and I will recommend them to everyone. Thank you especially to Jared for the wonderful slide presentation, and all the other details he took care of! I will never forget how good we were treated and taken care of! It made one of life's hardest times a little easier! Thanks is well deserved for him and this funeral home! I will always be grateful to them! God bless them!!!”

“John and Sarah made this very difficult time smooth and without regrets. With their help I was able to say goodbye to my husband in style and grace. They were upfront with pricing and went over options that would help me make the final decisions on my husband’s wishes to be cremated. Everything went exactly as planned. I felt at ease with Salem Funeral and Cremation and I would use their services again.”
