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.

“I have family buried here. Beautiful and peaceful here. The cemetery is very historic.”

“A couple yrs ago my Mom passed away. Her wish was to be cremated. My Dad is buried with a stone with both names on it . At the time I wasn't thinking right. I asked to have her ashes spread on his grave. It was some crazy price . Now , she had to have a plot if her tombstone had both names on it . The 2 owners ( they said they were) had my Dad's folder so it was a big scam. I knew the original owners , close. Now I'm hearing that the place is in disarray . For what people charge to be buried , there is no excuse. Inappropriate $ spending. IRS , needs to look into it. My hole family is buried in there . This is about the ceremony & not good.”

“LP has been wonderful in helping with my dad's arrangements. From handling the pre-planning required by Charlestown (that pittie was adorable and the guy could not have been kinder!) To taking care of all final arrangements and suggesting how best to handle everything since we all live out of state, top notch.”
— Norma Simpson
