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.

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Ryan Doyle and the staff at Doyle Funeral Home for their exceptional service in handling my grandmother's arrangements. Having grown up with Ryan, I have fond memories of my grandmother taking us to Highpark Roller Magic. It is remarkable that 30 years later, I would be working with Ryan and his family during this difficult time. I must commend Ryan on his outstanding attitude and attention to detail, which are truly unmatched. He treated my grandmother and my family with the utmost care and respect, and for that, I am eternally grateful. Thank you again, Ryan, for your unwavering support and professionalism.”

“My mother passed suddenly. I had no idea what to do. I was referred to Doyle. The phone was answered immediately by a comforting man. I then spoke to Tim, the father and owner. He helped me get everything in order and told me the process. After that I spoke to Ryan, his son. And their nephew and funeral director came to pick my mother up. They were kind, gentle, PATIENT, understanding. I felt so safe with them. It’s a family owned and run business that’s been around for years and they have only excellent reviews / there’s a reason for that! After everything Ryan and their kind funeral director (totally spacing his name, apologies) came to say goodbye with hugs and warm, friendly words. This was luxurious, gold standard treatment. At such an awful time, I felt loved and cared for by people who the day before were complete strangers! That says a lot!”
