Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

“I Love Jefferson Funeral Home 💕 They are so Personal and Professional. When my Husband Passed in August 2019 Mr James Jefferson and his Staff we’re right there to comfort me and help me with arrangements they did nothing unless they made sure I was satisfied. They allowed me to hold the service at their chapel. Then in December2019 my son passed I had no money they arranged a payment plan with me and continued to serve me as a valued customer and handled my request as if I had paid in full Thank you 🙏🏿 So very much for you the Love ❤️ and Compassion You had for me during my Times of Bereavement! May God continue to Bless and keep you , your staff and Families In His Care just as you do and have done for so many families in their most vulnerable times in their lives 🙏🏿🙏🏿”
