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.

“It's a nice community church to attend. I don't like the way they reserve the front row seats only to remove the signs right before mass commences thus leaving those rows empty forcing attendees to crowd in the rear of the church (no social distancing as a result). If anyone at the parish reads this please get the hint!”

“J.M.J My church, I find myself in piety during the transubstantiation Eucharistic celebration. When we receive the gifts , the Body and Blood of Christ. Time and space do not exist, we go back to 2000 years to that most important point in time and he is here and we are there! This is NOT a symbolic re-creation, this is the physically manifested tangible connection between Christ on the cross and ourselves as Catholics Today .Bow in adoration. Amen!”
— John Lambertson
“Our parish for over 25 years. Seen a lot of friends come and go. Very, very good music director at the church. If he leaves the church, there is a possibility we might change parish. Father Peter and the Administration needs to make sure he doesn't leave.”
— Alan Ozoa
