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.

“My father-in-law passed away in October and Davies made the entire process so easy and smooth. He was put in hospice on a Monday, we went to Davies that afternoon and met with Narges who was absolutely an incredible human to work with, she walked us through all our options, was gentle, kind and met us where we were emotionally. He passed the next day and the incredible kindness and support we received just the day prior amplified much more through the rest of the process. We were kept informed through every single step and we could not be more thankful to the entire staff but especially to Narges. I cannot imagine how hard it would be to work with grieving families every single day and still be able to maintain such empathy, kindness, love and compassion day in and out. Thank you Davies for being so great to work with. We had a wonderful experience, despite the horrible circumstances and our family could not be more grateful.”

“I would not recommend this place for my worst enemy. I called on behalf of my friend who lost her partner suddenly. The 1st phone call the woman didn't listen and kept telling me the hospital would have to have the coroner release him to them even though I told her that he died at home and the ME released him to my friend. I still proceeded because they have great reviews and maybe this woman is having an off day. It got worse. I told her that it was very important they came and picked him up asap because his body was outside on her front porch where people walking by could see. I waited a half hour, no call. I called and the woman said she would light a fire under them. Another half hour and no call. I called again and the woman who answered my call this time couldn't find any record of communication. Are you serious?! I told her that they're not longer needed and hung up. We called Browns who answered and picked him up within 20 minutes of taking my call. I wouldn't trust them with anyone's loved ones. Do better.”
