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.

“The benefit I had I knew the owner and our sons went to school together. When it came to make arrangements I knew where and who I wanted to assist in the arrangements. It was like we were old friends which made it so comfortable. My father was 89 decorated vet from Korea, though the family was small and immediate we were made to feel like first class. What impressed my family was the full military honors, my wife and I were impressed at the viewing. My father never looked any better and was given a peaceful send off. At the cemetery we were met with military guard and we were able to give my father what he always wanted. Our thanks to Steve, Matt, and their family for making a difficult situation feel comfortable and at home with good friends. Our guests (sister in law, cousin) said they enjoyed the ceremony and so did we!! God bless you (Salute)!”
