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.

“The staff at McKneely’s truly does treat everyone like family, making a tremendously difficult time so much easier. They are professional, kind, and lay out all the choices such that all the decision-making goes smoothly. In addition, they provide so many services, e.g., the photos in the signage, the wide range of coffins, religious cards, registries, ordering death certificates, and so much more. We are so thankful we were in the kind and capable care of the staff at McKneely’s!”
