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.

“Cassy and his team at Scoggins Funeral Home were great. They made my mother's funeral easy and everything went well. I appreciate the kindness they showed me and I would highly recommend them. This was a difficult time, but Scoggins was very helpful. Thank you.”

“Scoggins was recommended by both the PD and a life long local when my father unexpectedly passed away. Scoggins (Casey) was quick to respond to our home, prepared my father and allowed me time with him before departing. Additionally, after departure Casey helped to retrieve the keys, pocket knife and money that remained in his pockets. Casey was helpful in calling universities to find a medical donation program to fulfill my father's final wishes. He also arranged transportation to the university. Scoggins and Casey were incredibly compassionate and informative and provided a very peaceful transition.”
