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.

“Swartz was wonderful with handling our daughter with dignity and respect, Cody did a very professional job on making our daughter look so beautiful and looking like our daughter looked while she was alive. Cody was always by our side or a ear shot away and met every need plus more. Swartz is the best caring funeral home our family has ever dealt with, This was our 6th time using them and have been treated the same everytime. The staff is very caring and friendly and was there when we had needs or questions. Thank you Swartz Funeral home”
