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.

“My father passed away in August 2024 and was cremated here. He was a veteran, yet the headstone that was ordered for him was never delivered. After more than a year and a half of repeated calls, I continue to receive the same excuse that someone will call me back—no one ever does. My dad is still in an unmarked grave without his veteran headstone. This is heartbreaking and unacceptable. I am deeply disappointed and would never recommend this company.”

“Todd was incredibly kind and compassionate during a very difficult time for us. We shared that my wife had suffered a miscarriage at 11 weeks and were just reaching out to ask about pricing. Todd offered his support and didn’t charge us anything. His generosity and empathy meant so much to us—especially when another funeral home in Wasilla had quoted us $200. We are deeply grateful for the care Todd showed our family.”

“It’s been almost 8 years now since we’ve had Valley Funeral Home take care of my brother’s funeral. I still think of Todd and his compassionate care that he’s provided my family. We had a unique funeral in that it spanned over 3 days and 3 locations and Todd was excellent in transporting and caring for my brother. My mom said she can still remember how gentle Todd was with my brother and his actions deeply touched us. We will always reccomend him and his team.”
