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.

“First of all they spelled my father's name wrong after telling them several times. They had my father's birthday wrong on a plaque they gave us. The obituary had missing information My Father requested a direct barreal and it took them days to set it up. I bought clothing for them to put on the body, they said they may have to lay them on top because he didn't get embomed and it could cause slipping of the skin, why when the body is frozen! I ask for a picture to be sent before they close the casket via email, that was never sent after telling me they sent it at the gravesite, I personally didn't want to view the body because I took care of him and it would have triggered me badly, I was going to send it to his sibbings. I wished I had of taken his body elsewhere but my Dad requested them in his Will. I would not recommend these people.”

“Whew, where do I start?? Well first, when I got to the funeral home to plan and arrange my dad’s funeral, the woman that my family and I came to meet was over 20 minutes late. Secondly, they got my dad’s birthday wrong on the obituary and the funeral plaque that was displayed at the service. Thirdly, when asked before the service if I wanted to place the cloth over my dad’s face, I respectfully declined, then at the time to close the casket, he asked me again in front of everybody if I wanted to place the cloth, when I had already said no. And lastly, when I tried to get my dad’s death certificate, they told me that someone else had already come to get. When I asked who it was, they told me they didn’t know. Like what?? I then called for over 3 weeks to get the certificate. I ended up receiving it a month and a half later. Please don’t send your loved ones off with this funeral home. If I could give them 0 stars, I definitely would.”
