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.

“We had a wonderful experience with Marshall-Spoo Sunset Funeral Chapel during one of the most difficult times for our family. They handled my grandmother’s care with compassion, kindness, and professionalism from start to finish. Their staff made what could have been an overwhelming process feel simple and manageable. They treated our family with genuine care and respect, and we truly felt supported every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and positive experience under such difficult circumstances. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of caring and professional funeral support.”
