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.

“I cannot express enough how compassionate and experienced Jude was in handling my mother’s funeral services. He guided my family every step of the way with extreme professionalism and kindness. He treated us as if we were family. He was knowledgeable to perfection through the entire process from viewing services, to interment services. He always made himself available to answer all our questions and to step in on our behalf when needed. Thank you for everything Jude. The Alessi, Kincaid, and Fuccello families.”
— Tina Alessi

“Not too much to say about this place, I call requested a location for the funeral home and the guy who answered the telephone responded with an attitude, saying, Well you call me!, I told him, if you don't have the proper attitude you shouldn't have a business, and hang up the telephone. Horrible, horrible.”
— Saul Mazariegos
