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.

“Our family was well pleased with Quinn McGowen Funeral Home. Their compassion and commitment to all the details were outstanding. Diane Blanton was knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions in making plans. Losing a parent is always difficult and emotional. The staff made sure to accommodate our every need. We used the facility for visitation the night before the service. The room was beautiful and allowed room for the many friends and family members who came to support us. We can’t thank the Quinn-McGowen family enough for taking care of us.”

“Diane Blanton and associates in Wallace were more than caring, knowledgeable, patient and helpful in our recent loss of our wonderful mom. (They did an excellent job in 2013 for my dad as well). They are highly recommended by me and all our family members.”
— Sherry Lowry
“I worked with Vinny from the Wilmington location and would recommend them a thousand times over! He helped make the hardest thing I've ever had to do, easier. He took the time to walk me through the process, answering any questions I had and even giving information that I didn't even know to ask. After making arrangements, I left their office with such a peace that my husband would be cared for in a compassionate way. I truly can't thank them enough.”
— Julie McKinney
