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.

“This was the first funeral service I have attended here several years and to say the least I was not impressed…. The funeral parlor where I was had absolutely no decoration at all… No pictures on the wall anywhere. The place felt dead… No joke. It was sad…”

“Soon after arriving, a staff member who while “helping” to direct cars into correct parking spaces for the funeral procession approached my vehicle. I was expecting guidance on where to park but instead was met with a hateful and annoyed tone which only increased in intensity when I misunderstood his direction. This time, when given “clarification” I was appalled at how he was speaking to me and could hardly believe it. At one point, the two men in the parking lot were guiding me in two different directions which enraged this staff member even more to the point that he felt the need to talk to me slowly, as in one hateful word at a time, as if I couldn’t understand English. It was unbelievable. My niece whom was with me was shocked at his behavior as well and I had no explanation for her. I still have no explanation. This behavior would be inexcusable in any context, but to be treated in such manner at a loved one’s funeral? I am beside myself and am hoping this message will find this man who can take a critical look at his behavior and ensure that no one else is treated this way in the future.”
