Questions to Ask When You Call
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.
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.

“It's been over 6 months and they have not put the temporary name which we get included free in what we were told our services would be. Does Cemetery has got no record or knowledge of that sign. When spoken to Mission Funeral Home about this, they tried to place blame that oh maybe it was stolen by a homeless person. No they never got it. People are grieving and deserve the best and quickest Services they can get. We are upset and we want this resolution done now. Very disappointed at Mission and our business should be a number one priority there”
