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.

“My husband I do not live in the Bismarck area, so we were particularly impressed and pleased by the caring and competent services of the DaWise-Perry Funeral Services. My sister in law had passed away. They worked closely with us and with her church to ensure all was done carefully. Jon was especially helpful and sensitive to our wishes. We are truly grateful!”
— Pat Stocker
“Dawise Perry funeral home did an excellent job for us during our time of loss. The family member we lost lived in Texas and David and his team were excellent to work with long distance and took care of everything for us with a few calls. AND, they were great to work with family members in ND for some of the in person details that needed to be worked out. I was not able to attend the service but I heard that they did a wonderful job and adhered to any requests that our family had asked of them. Thank you for all your help during our time of loss.”

“We used DaWise-Perry for both of our parents' funerals, and were very happy with the services provided. David made it a simple process and didn't try to take advantage of the emotional situation by trying to sell us crazy expensive extras. He added a few suggestions specific to each of my parents'funerals that were unique to their lives and it was a nice touch to those sad days. He took care of everything for us.”
