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.

“Words can not express how wonderful they were to my family and myself. Ryan was so considerate, patient and caring. Beautiful funeral home. Serving snacks in their cafe at the funeral home was a wonderful and welcome idea. Guests and family were so grateful for that. God bless you Ryan. You were awesome. You help put my brother, Paul Vehling, to rest with grace and dignity.”

“Do not look anywhere else when deciding on where to make funeral arrangements for your loved one. You will receive the most professional, compassionate and generous service at Memorial Funeral Home. Executive Director, Laura Mann, went above and beyond for my family to support us throughout a difficult time of grief and need. She made herself available to promptly answer any and every question that came up and provided us with reassurance in every interaction. The funeral home itself is absolutely gorgeous (recently renovated and modern). They only have one family/service at a time, so the entire funeral home is yours for the date and time of your service, which creates a warm and inviting environment for family and friends to visit and pay their respects. We are forever grateful and appreciative of all of their staff and services.”

“Never prepared to plan a funeral and thnking my brother and I can easily give our ideas in a 10 min arrangement was not the case.Thankfully meeting with Ryan and his professional experience made the arrangements go smooth. Meeting the owner along with other staff members had a real feel that my Dad's cremation and services was in good hands. The Place has a perfect layout and is a comfortable warm place. Im looking forward that the day they helped put together in my dad's memory will be a perfect send off. When exiting the funeral home we were again met by staff Susan and owner Tom and they were also warm and had kind words to leave us with .”
