Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

What Families Say
“We unfortunately were at La Hayne Funeral Home for a Family member's wake. I ordered this Floral Arrangement from a business under the name, Avas Flowers in Hammond, IN. It was heartbreaking enough and to see this terrible Arrangement that certainly didn't even come close to what they advertised, it was $120 and would have been almos $10 more except for discount added. Embarrassing beyond words to even have to take the photo during the worst time but they wouldn't even acknowledge my complaint. The Funeral Home and Service was Beautiful. Do not Recommend ordering Flowers from Avas in Hammond, Indiana.”
— Alicia Kidd
“Jim and James were very attentive and helpful. They picked up loved one from the airport and got everything ready for the wake/funeral. My family is happy on how the service went.”
— Luis Guzman
“Ray was very helpful and compassionate. The family and I was pleased with how everything turned out.”
