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.

“Rick Ingersoll went out of his way to make the process very easy for us, which was very much appreciated since we were not only dealing with a loss, but also being overwhelmed with the estate management process. Thank you for assisting us through a very difficult time!”

“During this most difficult time, making arrangements for my beloved Grandmother, I had the pleasure of working with Amy, not only was she very knowledgeable, but she was so compassionate, carings and most importantly understanding. She helped me and my Grandfather throughout the entire process. She answered every call, every question, and made things very easy for us, I will highly recommend this company, especially “Amy” for your cremation services.”
— Kari Edwards
“I was truly blessed to have Amy and Jessica walk me through this difficult process. These women were kind, compassionate, and professional. Because we did not have life insurance, this was a reasonable priced but dignified service to use. I am grateful for how well we were treated.”
