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 cannot thank Richard McFillin and the staff at Fluehr Funeral enough for their compassion and professionalism during a difficult time. They treated us like family. The staff was attentive and patient with all our questions. Every detail was handled with dignity and brought our family great comfort. Thank you for all the support in honoring our loved ones.”

“This Funeral Home is truly beautiful and very big. There are many chairs folded away for extra people so that no one had to stand, and I like that about this place. The customer service was fantastic, and the organization outstanding. The only thing I did not like so much was towards the end of the service Rick was pacing the room like he was trying to get everyone to leave. I have been to many funerals and I have never seen this before so this came as a shocker to me. Other than that, however, everything was awesome, and they were very accommodating.”
