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.

“Attempted to get help to move my baby son who I lost at 27 weeks pregnant & he was only 3 lbs. All I wanted was help. Wouldn't matter to them & they could care less that I lost him recently & Im still grieving over him & cant heal properly unless he is closer to me for me to visit & be with him. They have no hearts or souls. Seems nobody these days wants to help anyone properly or theyre selfish & inconsiderate & want too much for something that shouldnt cost alot to begin with esp losing their baby.... I spoke with 1 guy named Corvin & they are unwilling to help me even though I told them the lawful information & etc what I am able to do myself with a permit & permission from the owner of the graveyards that he is at & will be moved to based off me not having a death or birth certificate & only hospital records of only proof of me being the only next of kin & etc from what I was told by the head director Matt of WV Vital Records. There's no reason they can't help me. They are just scared for no absolute reason when all of it is being done lawfully (the case/ exeprience they try to mention that happened to them recently was thrown out of court so they didnt even get sued & didnt suffer any consequences or lose anything or get in trouble over anything cause the mother wasnt guilty or wrong or doing anything unlawful by moving her baby & the court still granted her permission) & they are making excuses not to help & I was told by that same guy Corvin a vault was $600 & then he changed the price to $1200 & the headstone wouldve been $800 or so & then he changed that to $1200 after going days without contacting me back & it seems all they care about is money or are trying to get me to not have them help me. I have asked other places & its sad they are the only one being the way they are out of all the other funeral homes. I wouldnt be surprised if they got sued soon for how they are... I highly do not recommend coming here & getting help with anything. Take your "money"/ promisary notes elsewhere....”
