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.

“This is a very special funeral home. They recently assisted me in planning my uncle’s funeral. He was a veteran. From the owner’s greeting us at the door, to Nicole compassionately walking us through our options, to Christine helping us and guiding us through the burial, we felt supported all along the way. In addition, they were so warm and welcoming to our friends and family. They took care of everything. If you have a relative that is a veteran, I recommend also choosing the option of the beautiful pole bearer. You want a funeral home to treat your family member with dignity and respect and this funeral home did that in a very special way.”

“We had my Grandfather's funeral service on Oct. 3rd & 4th! Christine, Nicole, and the entire staff went above and beyond to make such a painful time, easier to process! Their emotional intelligence is top tier! I am forever grateful for them and will always recommend them to anyone in the area. From the entire Alfred Jean-Baptiste family, we sincerely appreciate you and wish you the best in all that you do!”

“Our family is grateful for all the help and swift assistance. Nicole managed in a short time to arrange everything. All staff were accommodating, kind and polite! The space is very beautiful and dignified and brings solace. There is a designated parking lot across from the funeral home, water falls as you enter and a colorful fish tank in the foyer area. We were able to select a casket from their selection available to see in their basement area. Within a few hours staff came to pick up our father-in-law from the hospice and bring him back to the funeral home and have him prepared for the burial.”
