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 can't begin to say how glad we are that we went with Midtown Funeral Home. Greg and his staff were so warm and patient with us, accommodating all our requests and giving us options and tips that we hadn't considered. Greg and his staff really helped us during a difficult time and ensured we were prepared and organized for the visitation and funeral services. He was responsive and on top of preparing all the needed paperwork. Midtown is charming, quaint and everything felt intimate and special for my father's service. We were really pleased with how everything turned out.”
