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.

“When my father died in Jan 2017 who ever my mother had to deal with propositioned her for her prescription pain medication and he would take some off the bill. This also happened with my Aunt when my uncle died years before. Both offers were denied. For any human being to ever be like that in a time of grieving and financial stress is truly disgraceful.”

“I found Kevin to be very uncooperative. Only HE could make any decisions. We had to do a lot of things that were automatically done for my dad, sister, brother. It was like he cared nothing about us or even HIS business in Eldorado springs. I would not recommend this funeral home.”
