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.

“I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service and care provided by Bowerman Funeral Home during my mother's services in May 2025. The team was incredibly kind, compassionate, and patient throughout the entire process. Their professionalism, respect, and attention to detail from the moment they were made aware of my mother’s passing made a difficult time much more bearable. A special thanks to Kanyon and Brian for their kindness and professionalism. They were always available to answer questions, providing immense comfort and support. The service provided was excellent, and my family truly felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need. They made trips to our house to pick up photos for the digital photo board, dropped flowers off after the service, and still check in, providing online resources to support the grief and healing process. I also suggest considering their pre-planning options whenever possible; my mother had her plan in place, which made this awful process a little less painful. Thank you, Bowerman Funeral Home, for your outstanding support and care!!”
