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.

“Marshall-March Funeral Home is still a community-based entity and a household name. So far, I have had 2 relatives received by this establishment. Their #1 goal is to meet all of the grieving family needs. Very impressive. I was referred by my long-time friend who lost her mom July 2010. Her mom service was beautiful and so was she. I now suggest this funeral home to anyone who needs final arrangements. Thank You for all your hard work. Tracey McKinney Williams, all the family of Laura Ellen Dixon Townsend & all the family of Mary Elizabeth Beasley Dixon”

“I couldn't have asked for anything more. My family reside in Baltimore and we had to travel there to make arrangements. They where very patient and compassionate. They took wonderful care of my uncle and I don't think I can ask for anything more. Thank you very much from myself and family.”
