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.

“My mom recently died and Maliszewskis Memorial Home handled her wake and funeral for us. They were incredibly helpful with the arrangements. They took such good care of our family. Better yet, my mom had wasted away and we were very surprised how wonderful she looked. They did an amazing job with getting her ready for the viewing. At 91 years old, she looked like the beautiful Mom that she was. Thank you so much Carmen and Elizabeth for all of your help. In such a trying time, we were so grateful to them!”
