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 just want to express my appreciation and gratitude to King’s funeral home and the staff. This was a tough day for my entire family and I must say things went smooth and unhitched which I know was good for my family. Thank you for your delicate service.”
— Charles Nash
“Our family entrusted Kings Funeral Home with my uncle’s homegoing, and they exceeded our expectations in every way. Every detail was handled with care, respect, and dignity. They made a painful time a little easier by ensuring the service felt personal and heartfelt. The extra effort they put into honoring him properly, especially with his military honors, meant more to us than words can express. We are forever thankful for the love and professionalism shown to our family.”
