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.

“Every detail from beginning to end was perfectly taken care of. The staff is gentle and very helpful. I felt no pressure at any time. I highly recommend them.”
— Barbara Wilson
“I can't express my gratitude enough for their services. They were compassionate, personable, and informative. They worked around my schedule as I was coming from out of town to take care of my brothers services. They took calls after hours and even came in early to put his remains in the urn (that arrived later than expected) in time for his end of life ceremony. Just all around great people and excellent service. So thankful!”
— Samantha Nuttall
“Thank you so much for the services you provided during the passing of our loved one, Emanuel E Wright. We were pleased with everything from start to finish. I could not have asked for anyone better to care for Emanuel. The staff, the attention to detail, the courteousness, was superior! Thank you again for kindness during this somber time and also, my 9 year old niece was so impressed with the toilet paper :-)...It truly is the little things that leave an impact and Burke Mortuary did just that and more !!!! Again, thank you. Dawn Roberts and Emanuel Wright Family”
