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.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
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.

“Our family recently experienced the death of two family members within a 10-day time period. The entire staff was very caring and compassionate and had so much patience with us as we navigated not only one, but two devastating losses. They were very open and willing to work with us as we planned a very unique celebration of life for our brother. We cannot thank them enough and our community is very lucky to have Chris, Jeff and their staff to be there with us during some of the most difficult times of our lives.”

“The Meisenheimer-Page-Dady family has been wonderful to work with! They have made this most difficult time easier to bear and the decision making smoother. Can't say how much their support and after-care means as well!”
— Becky Holloway
“Christopher and the staff we're so understanding and compassionate after the sudden loss of our sister Rita. Although we had a short time period to work with due to holy week everything was taken care of efficiently and professionally... Forever grateful for their help in such a difficult time.”
— Linda Schuster
