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.

“Williams Funeral Home is designed for family. I want to extend our appreciation for the services we received. This is a place where one can feel safe to be who they are, and whatever they need to be in that moment. Not only that, they have every amenity imaginable. I found most encouraging the online website where we received words of hope from our friends and loved ones. God Bless Williams Funeral Home for taking the weight of what I thought would be unbearable, possible for me and my family. Sincerely, The Bradley Family”
