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.

“Anthony and Guido are amazing. I couldn’t have asked for anything more with them. Anthony walked me through everything. Every detail was situated, from prayer cards, the panel inside the casket, flowers, and more. This was a very difficult and overwhelming time for me and he was so patient and compassionate. He made my experience with loss manageable. They go above and beyond at Yannantuono’s. I felt well cared for by both Anthony and Guido. They guided me through all the possible options without overwhelming me. Thanks to God that their so detail oriented, professional and caring. They made my vision for my grandmother’s last moment with us come true. Everything was perfect. They sorted out the church nicely, got the pall bearers (my family) situated where they needed to be. They got us situated at the grace site and we’re extremely attentive from beginning to end. I’m forever grateful to them and the amazing work they do.”

“Guido, Rita, and the staff at Yannantuono did a superb job in helping us plan our beloved grandmother’s services. Guido listened carefully to our needs and offered helpful suggestions to ensure that everything went smoothly and was just as we wanted. They took care of every detail- specific flowers that we requested, securing a wonderful priest to perform the services, the right prayer cards, and handling all of the communications with the cemetery- we did not have to worry about a thing, which is not always the case. Their cosmetologist and hairdresser did a beautiful job as well. Rita has even been checking in on us periodically and offering grief support resources. Planning a funeral is never a desirable task, but the staff at Yannantuono really made a very difficult time for our family a seamless and comforting experience- I highly recommend entrusting them with the care of your loved one. Thank you all, sincerely.”
