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.

“Lenny and Christine Zeller are the best. They are extremely comforting and sweet to you in your grief. I recently lost my husband and I could not have had a better experience with their professioalism through the entire process, if I can call it that, of having my husband's service and burial. I highly recommend them. I couldnot have chosen anyone that was so kind, gentle and knowledgable. Lenny guided me through the entire process setting everything up after my husband went to be with Jesus. They are wonderful. I cannot say anything but good things about them.”

“Recently, a dear friend of ours from high school passed away. Mrs. Zeller drove twenty miles to retrieve a special gift basket to deliver to the family. My friends and I were flabbergasted at her kindness in doing this for us. The gift basket was from a store that did not make deliveries. Mrs. Zeller allowed us to show our concern and care for the family that would not have been possible but for her actions. We will not forget her kindness.”
