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 visit here every year from Texas. Bringnin the last Sunday and always spend watch night service. The choir sings like angels. Love the Pastor he always has a great word. Beautiful warm congregation and I always feel like I am truly being fed the Word. Love this church.”

“The historic Baptist church is located in Mount Vernon, New York. It was originally established in 1888. In 1959, Dr. Martin Luther King preached at the church. I recently attended funeral services for a beloved colleague whose hard work, thoughtfulness and generosity were appreciated by everyone he met. The church has a large parking lot across the street.”
