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.

“The WORST experience I’ve ever had with a funeral home. Their price rate was incredibly pricey and for no reason at all. Not only did our family have to prepare everything ourselves during our time of grieving, but the directors were completely absent during the service. Didn’t even say more than hello to my family the day of the service. Didn’t show us around the establishment. Were completely absent and on their phones in a different room during the calling hours. Didn’t greet a single person at the door. Truly a shame on the funeral service industry.”

“The Tidd Funeral Home staff in Hilliard is the best in the business. Randy Mayfield is my go-to person, along with Terry Thomas. My family has used them for six burials; my mother the most recent. When my mother's wish was to be buried in her family plot at a cemetery hundreds of miles away in Pennsylvania, the Tidd Funeral staff did not even blink an eye. They made ALL of the arrangements, from transportation right down to the graveside service. During the challenging time of grief of a loved one, in all our experiences, we have found the Tidd Funeral staff takes care of every detail with care and concern for the loved one and the surviving family. I cannot say enough good things about their attention to personal service, dignity and respect. We are blessed to have found such a crown in the funeral business. I highly recommend...”

“My aunt passed away this April. She basically raised me and was my pillar for my entire life. I thought they were great during the planning, we talked through everything and what we expected to do. We had a basic showing and visitation service at the funeral home. I requested her fingerprints during the initial scheduling so we could make some jewelry to remember her by. I was assured each person they held a service for was finger printed. After almost 2 months of emailing and calling the funeral home with no response, I received a rather insensitive email from the director stating that they had no fingerprints for her. That was the only correspondence I received despite multiple contact attempts. To say I am heartbroken and disappointed is an understatement. While I will always have her memory, they took my chance at a "Forever Keepsake" with no explanation. I would suggest you get EVERYTHING in writing and make yourself clear multiple times. It didn't help my case but I hope knowing this, that some other family is spared the heartbreak mine is feeling. No one should be neglected this way after losing a loved one.”
