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 have done research since my Mom passed away in January of this year. I knew the director we worked with at this place was what I can only describe as cold, but our family missed out on very important things that I now know are an option. Money was first and foremost with whoever we worked with. I don't recall his name because he never introduced himself or even said he was sorry for our loss. That's your job as a funeral director! Even if you don't mean it, at least act like you cared. We were also not made aware that it was an option to have a viewing of my Mom, dressed and in makeup, prior to her being cremated. Another very lost memory and closure for us that we will NEVER get back. Think long and hard before you leave your loved one in their hands. They were very unprofessional and showed zero empathy. Please know you have other options for your loved ones. I don't even dare to think how my Mom was treated while in this place. 😐”
