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.

“My father's celebration of life service was truly handled kindly and with care and attention to detail. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and professionalism. Truly a blessing.”

“We lost our daughter with a miscarriage and trusted Judd with her remains. On 10/13 she was taken from me and didn’t get her ashes back until 12/11. Almost 2 months of wondering what was going on, were her remains lost, and longing for closure. We called Judd many times getting an answering service and no return call. Eventually I was able to get ahold of someone and locate her remains and bring her home. Both hospital and funeral home blamed each other for communication errors but I would have expected at least a phone call back over a 2 month period of time with an update. I hope you’re not ever in this situation but if you are I wouldn’t recommended Judd.”
