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.

“Seth from Denbow-Gasche Funeral Home was a true asset in planning Mom's funeral from start to finish. He explained everything he would do for us. He handled everything from the visitation, mass, delicious lunch to the burial. Thank you for being there to make this a memorable and easy event.”
— James Sanders
“Seth orchestrated the most beautiful celebration of life for my mother. He is very detail oriented and provided exactly what she wanted from start to finish. He also made this difficult time much less stressful on me with his expertise and knowledge. Seth and his staff made my mom look absolutely gorgeous, just the way we like to remember her. My family has used Denbow-Gasche for many years and we will continue to do so for years to come!”
— Alice Nauman
“When my husband passed away I chose Denbow-Gasche to help with all the arrangements. I knew he would be cared for and they would help me with all the details. I've known Lindsay (Roberts) Gasche since she was little child and know her ethics, her family and her concern for me and my husband's remains. Even though I do know others in this business, I chose their services and felt so relieved that they were handling everything for me. Thank you Lindsay and Seth for everything. Your kindness, concern and caring made this much easier than I could have ever imagined. -Lynn Semer-”
