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.

“June 2025. I tragically lost my twin brother Dan. The funeral home director (Anna O) was incredibly soft-spoken, professional, considerate, caring, patient, kind, helpful, and understanding. And not pushy at all. She even went to the funeral and burial and printed out extra prayer/memorial cards for me at no extra cost. She answered all my questions and more with the utmost care imaginable. Honestly I could not have asked for a better experience, considering all my grief at the time and all my grief that was and is to follow. Thank you again Anna.”
