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.

“A few years ago, Sharon helped me (my family), with the process for when my Grandma passes. Last week, my Grandma passed away. I immediately spoke to Sharon and she was able to schedule an appointment the next day, with Tom and Betsy. This whole experience has been wonderful. During a time of vulnerability, the Funeral Directors were friendly, personable and compassionate. I understand we all have a business or job to make money but you can tell that is not their main focus. The Life Insurance amount that was left, wasn't enough to cover the original plans. Gratefully they supported me with resources, allowing us the priority of wishes. I am thankful beyond words to their professionalism and courtesy.”
