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.
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.

“Mark did not introduce himself properly over the phone. During the meeting he didn't explain what would be included in the charges and was very agitated when I asked questions. I actually thought he was trying to lose business for the funeral home. He told me he explained about the burial assistance program when we met but he did not. When I asked him about it he started yelling at me. That's when I decided to go with another funeral home. Mark was very rude and I don't want him to treat my daughter like this when I pass away.”
