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.

“My father passed unexpectedly recently, and with no funeral arrangements made in advance, we were at a loss as to what to do. We contacted Stout & Son and Jacob Stout arrived at our home the very next day. He not only patiently walked us through a very difficult time, he immersed himself into our family, and took the time to laugh, cry, and care with us. The entire process was professional, dignified, and came with no surprises. Our family will be forever grateful for Jacob, and the entire Stout & Son team. Thank you.”
