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.

“Thank you very much for the professionalism and competency demonstrated in assisting our family with the funeral services for our beloved family member. We knew it would be quite an undertaking, and we were quite pleased Bland had the skills and knowledge for executing such a task. This was our first time utilizing this funeral home and it was reminiscent of the quality of service we expected to receive. Compared to the other funeral homes in the area we were considering, this one was really on top of ALL the details. It was a pleasure to work with the Bland team; we would use them again in the future.”
