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.
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 owner of Joseph H. Brown, Jr. Funeral Home is sincerely dedicated to providing quality and affordable funeral services and products to families. He is very knowledgeable about mortuary business trends in America. I was granted a tour of the funeral home, including its $2 million, newly constructed, state-of-the-art crematory center. In the lobby, there is historical and legacy information about the funeral home's past ownership, growth and service to the community. The buildings and grounds are well-kept, accessible and very inviting. The owners were welcoming, very professional and great listeners, interested in answering questions and knowing about my interests. All of the rooms including the lobby area, conference room, waiting room, crematory center and platform area were built to specifically address needs of families. Questions were answered about funeral services, products, the crematory center, urns, family rooms, emissions, new technology and so much more. I give this funeral home a rating of 5.”
