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.

“We cannot even begin to thank you enough for everything that you helped us with and did for us when our momma/GG passed away. We would never have been able to do it without your help. Yesterday, was a beautiful day of celebrating a life well lived and loved. GG’s grandson officiated the funeral and he appreciated your guidance and care during this difficult time. You were so considerate of our feelings and emotions and went above and beyond to honor our loved one. One of your staff members rescued the pastors fussy baby during the service and took him and quieted the baby down in another room . Karel’s entire family expresses their gratitude. We don’t believe anything went unchecked and it was all very beautiful. Again, Thank you so much for your kindness. KLVM”

“My family and I had an exceptional expierence with Joldersma and Klein. We worked with Dan and he was extremely kind and professional. He was readily available to help us and showed compassion through every step of the process. We truly did feel as though we were being treated like family. All of our questions were answered and my father was well taken care of and honored. They are reasonably priced and took the time to go through different options to meet our specific needs. I would recommend them to anyone looking for great care and excellent service. Sending a big thank you to all the staff at Joldersma and Klein for your first-rate service”
