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.

“We are deeply grateful to the Bellows Funeral Chapel for the extraordinary care they provided during our infant son’s service. Allan and the team guided us with compassion, sensitivity, and respect, making an unbearable situation feel just a little more manageable. They handled every detail thoughtfully and treated our son and our family with dignity and kindness. We will always appreciate the way they honored our son’s life and supported our family with such grace. Their dedication and empathy made a lasting impact on us and we cannot recommend them highly enough.”
