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.

“Absolute trash. They illegally removed my husband's body from the coroner's office and attempted pressure me (spouse) and our daughter to sign binding documents that we had nothing to do with. We did not choose this funeral home and we would not have chosen this funeral home because they are sub par. They were not compassionate or caring in any way, I believe they're doing things illegal there. Somebody needs to investigate this funeral home.”

“We never think too much about the end of life, but it's an integral part of living. Treasures of Life, makes settling your loved one for final rest, a comforting process. My father was a resident of Houston, TX, but after his passing, Treasures of Life made the transport back to his home in Louisiana, a gentle transit. From the arrival, to his final care, Treasures of Life gave my father everything he desired, including military honors; they took care of it all and gave my family so much peace during our time of loss. Ms. Sheila, Courtney and the entire staff are not only masterfully trained professionals, but they also have truly caring hearts. Ms. Sheila encouraged my young daughter to complete her academic curriculum, and gave her a meaningful affirmation that only a mother, mentor, and educator could give. I will always choose Treasures of Life for all of my family's final needs. So much gratitude for all they provide. Nedra Richard and Family Houston, Texas.”

“During the most difficult time in our lives, Courtney and staff made my fathers funeral the most beautiful service we could have imagined. When talking to Courtney on the arrangements he truly listened and incorporated the smallest details into my fathers obituary and funeral services. My family can never say Thank You enough. For Treasures of Life it's not a job, it's a passion.”
