Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

“The funeral home is a nice set up and all but the only problem is just some of the staff members just was a little bit too edgy and rude in a way it’s like if we’re coming there to celebrate a fallen love, one of ours, be more compassionate towards us shows some understanding don’t be quick to just catch an attitude etc. The least you could do is kind accommodate us when even a simple question is ask, I would give 3 1/2 stars because of this, but just try to do better for the future because everyone said the same thing on this…. But overall great funeral home”
— Perseverance
“I recently attended a funeral service for a family member. This funeral home has very limited air conditioning; the room was extremely hot. I actually had to leave the service. This is a regular problem at the funeral home. The director has lots of paper fans at the entrance, which means he has known about the problem for a very long time. My family paid a lot of money for the funeral, but the director refuses to fix the AC problem, which has persisted over the years. Please don’t waste your money there.”
