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 cannot thank the kind, caring, and capable staff at Nie Family Funeral Home (Liberty Rd. Chapel) enough for helping us through an experience that we were unprepared to manage, emotionally or logistically. We came in devastated and unaware of all the detailed decisions we needed to make, but the staff was comforting and put us at our ease as much as possible as they gently lead us through the decision process. We never felt pressured or rushed. We felt that explanations of the things that needed to be accomplished - and things that were optional - were given clearly, taking the time to answer our numerous questions. We knew what various options meant, and what they would cost, before we made our decisions. All the while, we felt treated with compassion, respect, and understanding. They were open to our wishes for a simple, perhaps unconventional memorial celebration. Some of our friends and family commented that it was the nicest event of that nature they'd ever attended. The facilities and decor are pleasant. There is a nice area in the back where we could refresh ourselves as neeeded during the visitation. Among the outstanding staff who helped us were Lisa, Monica, and Michelle, but there were others whose names I unfortunately cannot recall who were just as gracious and helpful; all the staff were great. We were very grateful.”
