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 fiancé and his mom have sent me so many beautiful arrangements from Gibney’s the last few years. The flowers last for WEEKS if taken care of properly! The colors and variety are always so gorgeous. I’m incredibly impressed, especially with my 30th birthday flower bouquet “cake”!!! Shoutout to Jess!”

“I ordered a standing funeral spray and was beyond pleased! It was absolutely beautiful—truly exceeded my expectations. The lady I spoke with when placing the order was so kind, friendly, and helpful. I asked for shades of pink, white, and greenery in the designer’s choice, and it turned out perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for a more lovely arrangement. Highly recommend!”
