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 am a retired funeral director and I want to thank Tony and his staff for the compassionate and professional care that was heads above. Dad looked great! When my dad died quite unexpectedly Tony was my first choice of funeral director. I knew Tony since he was in high school as I would help his dad when they needed help at their funeral home. My dad who was a funeral director for over 60 years, worked with Tony at another facility for 7 years and developed a close, professional relationship. My dad mentored Tony those years as well as me and my brother (also another funeral director) in the profession. Tony's facility is warm and inviting and as a funeral director I fell in love with the place. So, my point is, if you want a true funeral service professional for a loved one, I urge you to contact him and check out the facility.”

“Two words you want to hear, Caring and Professional. Meeting Tony and having Tony care for my mom after her passing was the best! Highly recommend!! Tony and his crew is caring and respectful. They went out of their way to make sure we were informed and not overwhelmed. There are lots of other things flying through your mind when you lose a loved one. Tony was there assisting and ensuring all was tended to, even arranging our procession walking moms casket from her home to church. Thank you Tony”

“I can't say enough about the incredible care and service Tony Gasparini provided my family when my father passed. He was there for us and went above and beyond making sure everything was the way we wanted it. He was a genuine comfort in our time of need. We entrusted Tony to provide us with a memorable service and he far surpassed our needs. I highly recommend his services.”
