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.

“Thresholds Home and Family-Directed Funerals offers unique pre-need services to families. After extensive conversation, Glenda and her team will be able to provide a full description of what you've specified. You will get exactly the services you want and need, and nothing you don't. Glenda will take the time needed to explain your options and answer all of your questions. She knows that the topics around after-death care are not typically discussed and that decisions around these topics take time. At no point will you be pressured. The conversations I and my husband had were unhurried and pleasant and - most important - honest and transparent. Glenda might ask questions you've never considered before. That's brilliant! Relax and trust the process. Take all the time you need, and know that you've chosen the best funeral director for your family.”
