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.

“Parkway Funeral home and their entire staff have exceeded all expectations and removed so many worries with the passing of my Father . There was zero pressure for choices, on his funeral arrangements,( I was certain it was going to feel like a high pressured sales pitch, but it WAS NOT) they listened to my list of my Dad's wishes and offered all help along the way. They worked with me on timeline of his burial given I had to get family in from across the globe. They were immediately available for all questions or concerns I had. They continue to help and offer support since his burial three weeks ago. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Parkway and their entire staff. They made an extremely sad and difficult event effortless and brought on an added layer of Peace, that we desperately needed. I highly recommend them, 5 stars is not nearly enough! This establishment and its staff will forever be in my heart, prayers and thoughts. There will never be enough words to show my gratitude.”

“I buried my sweet daddy in 2020 and this was the first major death that I had the honor of planning. I met with Micheal Sherman & he walked me through this tough time in life & his gentle spirit helped me walk through this by his kind suggestions. While making funeral plans I was, of course, very upset & I remember Micheal walking out of the room for a brief moment to give me a moment to get through what I was feeling at the time. What a heart that is a dying breed in today's society. He blessed me so much without him even knowing. Fast forward 5 years later & I buried my little brother 3 months ago in the same funeral home. Upon walking in to drop off the clothing I had for my little brother I could feel Micheal's absence this go around. The funeral home was still very beautiful as it was in 2020 but in another sense something was hugely missing each time I walked through the doors assisting to put my brother to rest. The day of the funeral for my brother I wept for many reasons. Micheal's beautiful absence being one of them. He made this place special. And while it still is-it felt so different this go around. I did not personally know Micheal. But in my heart I still think of him to this day. To his family, to his wife and children. Your dad and husband is with our Jesus now. He blessed so many people without even knowing. Me being one of them. Rest Easy daddy...my little brother and sweet Micheal Sherman!!!! 🕯🕯”

“This was the coldest chapel I’ve ever been in in all my life. I was jerking it was so cold! The bodies don’t have to be kept on ice after they’re embalmed. It wasn’t just me and my family, everyone was running out the door saying hurry up and get in the car so we can turn on the heat! It was a chilly day outside but it was much colder inside! The 55 degree weather outside felt good after being inside.”
