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 want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Heritage Chapel Funeral Home and Cremation. They provided exceptional support to some dear friends of mine during the challenging process of laying a family member to rest just last week. Having had a positive personal experience two years ago, I recommended their services to this family, and they too found comfort and compassion beyond expectations. Thank you all for your guidance, understanding, and the personal touch you added to these memorials Heritage Chapel. Your commitment has left a lasting impact, and our families are genuinely grateful for the care you've extended during this difficult time.
