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.

“Buried my Uncle yesterday. This was by far the most horrible experience I have ever experience in my life. First off got to the funeral facility, they didn’t even clear the sidewalk of snow, there wasn’t any heat in the church, it felt like it was 20 degrees in the building. My Grandmother is 92 years old sitting in a cold building. After the funeral I go towards the back where the owner I believe that’s who he was/stated. Sitting back there in the heat with several floor heaters. She. Asked about the heat. He stated when he cut the heat on that morning it was making too much noise he didn’t want to disturb the service. My conclusion is they booked a service knowing they didn’t have any heat. My Great Aunt complained that there wasn’t even any tissue in the bathroom. We get outside the limo was filthy. Looked like someone started waxing the limo then got tired and called it quits on the job. Last but not the least, they had us playing musical chairs with my Uncle casket at the burial, they didn’t know where his head was In the casket had us turning the casket around like musical chairs. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.”
