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.

“DO NOT GO THERE!! Not recommended!! Take your love one somewhere else. Bad experience! First, they missed up the death certificate. It took them over 3 weeks to fix it. Second, Sarah said she would order the headstone over the phone. After many calls to follow-up on the status of the headstone, no return call. 6 months later, she called back to say she never received any of my messages. Then, after we met again, she said, she doesn't do Veterans request for headstone, when she could have said it long ago. They just kept passing me around. They are terrible. No accountability!”

“We are from Canada. My parents were travelling in Oregon when my mom passed away suddenly with an aneurysm. State protocol required her to be transported from the highway to the nearest funeral home which was O’Hair and Wards. We drove 12 hours through the night to meet dad and say goodbye in the funeral home. We arrived completely frazzled, confused and devastated and having no idea what the next step was. We have never gone through anything like this We assumed it would be so complicated given we are Canadian. Robin met us with so much care and kindness. He explained everything and simplified the process by communicating directly with our insurance company. He prepared mom for viewing and even played a hymn which we requested as we said our final goodbye while still reeling over the sudden loss. He was honest. He never recommended any unnecessary charges. We felt like he understood our family values and beliefs. We left feeling relief and care.”

“The people at O'Hair-Wards, especially Glenn Vest, were wonderful to deal with during this difficult time and helped me navigate everything long distance. They kept me informed on activities and checked in with me regularly as we waited months for the release of the death certificate. Highly recommended.”
