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 want to sincerely thank Donnellen for the beautiful send-off they provided for my mother. During such a difficult time, every step of the process felt seamless and was made so much easier for our family. Working with Jackie truly felt like working with an angel sent to us. She was incredibly kind, organized, and always easy to reach whenever we had questions or needed support. The only lighthearted comment we shared was that the rooms could use some updating, but this was far outweighed by the exceptional service, attentive guest services, and the many staff members who were always willing to help. On a very cold night when the wake lines became quite long, they graciously opened an additional room so guests would not have to wait outside in the cold.”

“I can't begin to express thanks to Donnellan for the amazing ways they accommodated our send-off to my beloved husband. All staff were compassionate and professional, with special thanks to Kodee for help with planning and explanations, and to Michael who was available throughout to assist with anything we might need. This was our third experience with Donnellan, as they had managed the funerals of each of my husband's parents. Their family orientation was exactly what we needed to celebrate my husband's life. I and my family will always be grateful to them.”
