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 lost my father suddenly and we were so overwhelmed with grief that we didn't know where to begin. Paul was amazing throughout this trying time. He was very professional, caring and attentive to our needs from the moment we walked through the door. He handled everything for us from start to finish and is still helping us with my father's Urn. My family and I just wanted to send out a special "Thank You" to him for his kindness, compassion and continued help. Thank you Paul for everything!”
— Lisa Smith
“When we list my husband suddenly, we were overwhelmed, but Lee Cavanagh immediately made us feel supported and cared for. Lee was kind, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable, guiding us through every decision with patience and compassion. What meant the most were the suggestions Lee offered regarding the service that truly made it personal and memorable. We will always be grateful for the dignity and care shown to our family, and we highly recommend Lee to anyone needing support during such a difficult time.”
