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 brother passed away in a very sudden and tragic manor. I couldn't be more happy with the restults we got by using Tewksbury Funeral Home. Jack & his family were very patient with us, extremely helpful and overall caring & professional. I would reccomend them to anyone looking for funeral services in the area. I would write, I'll be back but hopefully I won't need them for a long time! 10/10 would reccomend. Thank you Jack & Family!”
