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.

“The Barbee Family has used this funeral home many times in the past. Unfortunately most recently we’ve had to visit Mr. Martin J. Banks for his services once again for another family member. As always he was very professional, attentive, and caring. He guided us in all we needed to get done once again which helped tremendously with the process of planning yet another funeral service. We most definitely recommend this funeral home.”
— Suzette Barbee
“First of all, Mr. Martin is a very compassionate and concerned man when it came to planning for the home-going of my mom. Very compassionate, making things easier for our family. I would recommend him to any and everyone, god bless him. Thank you, from the family of Osie Anderson.”
— Jacqueline Anderson
“Most caring director. Compassion beyond your beliefs. Mr Banks certainly gives his clients the very best of his service's.”
