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.

“All I can say is that I was extremely pleased from the beginning to the end in planning a funeral for my brother who died on unexpectedly There was tremendous compassion shown to me from start to finish. Their staff walked me through every step and they handled the process in such a smooth way. I really can’t say enough on how pleased we were.

“We are so grateful for Nicole and the incredible care she gave our family. Her compassion, support, and knowledge guided us through one of the hardest times in our lives and made everything feel a little easier. She truly went above and beyond, and we could not recommend this funeral home more!”

“The passing of my mom was by far the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced, and having never been in this situation before, I truly had no idea what I was supposed to do or even what questions to ask. From the moment we walked in, everyone at Hennessy Heights was incredibly caring, patient, and compassionate. They helped guide us step by step with such kindness, making the entire process as smooth as it could possibly be. Before choosing them, I called several funeral homes and compared prices, but also tried to get a feel for the staff, and I can honestly say Hennessy Heights stood out immediately. What really meant a lot to me was that they have bilingual staff who spoke Spanish fluently. My dad only speaks Spanish, and they took the time to explain everything to him in his own language, which made him feel comfortable and reassured during a really difficult time. Another thing that meant the world to me was how beautifully they took care of my mom’s appearance. I was the first to see her at the hospital and then again at the funeral home, and I was genuinely impressed by the amazing job they did with her makeup, she looked absolutely beautiful and peaceful. It brought so much comfort to my family and me during such a painful time. Thank you, for going above and beyond for our family. Your empathy, professionalism, and attention to detail truly made a world of difference we will never forget it. If you are searching for a funeral home that truly cares, this is definitely the place to go.”
