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.

“Thank you for the love, support, and kindness you showed during this difficult time. Your presence, prayers, and thoughtful gestures meant more than words can express. We truly appreciate all the good work and care that went into honoring my mother Christine. Thank you Debra”

“Mabone Funeral Home has been there for many of my relatives. They are always prompt, professional, knowledgeable, understanding, loving, and caring. Even though death is a hard pill to swallow, they always find a way to go above and beyond to help make me and my family as comfortable as possible. Mabone Funeral Home has help to lay my father and my stepfather to rest. Both looked as if the were just peacefully taking a nap. Thanks to the Mabone Funeral Home Team❤️❤️❤️”

“I could not believe how rude, disrespectful & unprofessional the person who I believe is the director of this funeral home was to my friend. She (DEBRA MABONE) seemed to do everything possible to make this trying time more difficult. While making arrangements to lay her Mother to rest was overwhelming for my friend. The added stress of being yelled at & disrespected by this women made matters worse. There are far too many details to go into. The point is people in this line of business should be compassionate, patient, and caring. Debra was the total opposite of any of these. She even went as far as to cause division among family members. The other staff members were Not pleasant but she gave the business a black eye with her actions. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMENDED DOING BUSINESS WITH MABONE FUNERAL HOME UNTIL THEY START PRACTICING GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE & SHOW COMPASSION FOR GRIEVING FAMILIES.”
