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.

“Lisa, Larry and staff are really good at what they do. They go above and beyond for the folks that they serve and people that come through their doors. A true family run business with heart and a sense of what is right. Beautiful facilities as well.”

“Dangerous dog, rude staff, and a threatening employee; avoid at all costs. The property has a street-side gate with widely spaced bars that allows the resident dog's jaws to reach through. My dog was nearly bitten while simply sniffing the gate on a public sidewalk. The warning sign posted is positioned well above a child's eye level; it's only a matter of time before a child is seriously hurt. While we walked by having a calm conversation about the safety hazard, I was rudely interrupted and talked over by both employee usher and the resident. The situation escalated into a verbal altercation, at which point a funeral home usher actually removed his coat and threatened to physically fight me. All this while a service is going on. This is a place of business meant to serve grieving families. The conduct I witnessed was shocking, unprofessional, and frankly dangerous. I would strongly caution anyone, especially those with children or pets, to avoid this establishment entirely.”
