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, along with my entire family, am eternally grateful for the grace, empathy, professionalism, and care that was taken while we navigated the loss of my father, Steven M. Beaudry. The immense loss you feel during this process was met with compassion and patience from Nicholas, the funeral director. The owner, Roy, was also on hand, but made sure to let us know that we were in the best hands possible. He was 100%+ truthful. Nicholas has the professionalism you need while preparing to honor and say goodbye to someone you love more than anyone could imagine. His Perfectionist personality and attention to detail was front and center from the start. Our family has, does, and will continue to be supportive of this venue. You have to have a very special quality to be able to work in this profession, especially to the skill and professional level that Nicholas has. He made every step seamless, and was just a pleasure to work with, and also speak with the next day as we picked up all our belongings. I am truly thankful for him, and he holds a very special place in my heart, right next to my dad ”

“The funeral home is absolutely BEAUTIFUL inside and out. The gardens outside make for a peaceful place to think and reflect on what you’re thinking of doing. Overall appearance is stunning! From start to finish Nick F. Was there every step of the way to make it as smooth as possible .he was extremely compassionate and looking to go above and beyond for the assistance I needed… also when it came down to obtaining records from the Navy when I wasn’t able to!!! This was huge . He easily could’ve told me sorry can’t do anything you need to do it but he assisted me in every aspect. He answered all questions even after business hours when he didn’t have to but still answered ! I also requested a special Car urn made for my dad and he delivered! Worth the cost because it was what I was looking for rather than your basic ones to purchase at the funeral home. He was very personable, professional as well as funny at times when needed. I can’t express how grateful I am for his help and the beautiful funeral my dad received. I highly recommend”
