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.

“Losing a loved one is incredibly painful for everyone. But if you can alleviate some of the stress and worry of finding services and handling paperwork, it's best to leave it in someone else's hands. I highly recommend the professionalism with which this funeral home handled the sad passing of my daughter, Milenka. Congratulations, they did a wonderful job, especially Alice, an excellent human being.”

“After dealing with several recent deaths in our family and moving my elderly mother-in-law to the area, my husband and I decided we needed to get our plans in order so that our kids do not have to go through some of the things we have had to deal with. Choosing McEwen Funeral and working with Bob Gulla has made what could be a daunting task simple and manageable. We put together not only plans for our funerals but updated mom's wishes so that we are prepared for her as well. Not only was the process easy, the personal attention and comfort you feel during the process was wonderful. We highly recommend McEwen.”

“During the most unthinkable season after my dear husband passed, McEwen Funeral Service guided me through every step with exceptional kindness and dignity. Alice, the funeral director, was truly extraordinary—so compassionate, respectful and incredibly easy to work with, making a devastating process feel much more manageable. They went above and beyond my expectations in every way and I will always be grateful for the care they showed our family.”
