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.

“In a time where someone needs compassion, this is not the funeral home to get that. The director there Charles, is a heartless monster who hasn't got an ounce of compassion in his bones. The first thing said to me after my father passed was that he stopped payment on his funeral funds, and that this could be up to $14000, not an I'm sorry for your loss not a let's talk about what options we can work through. Then when I said to him that I hope he handles the other families with more compassion than I was shown he stepped into my personal space like I was going to be intimidated. When he was told to back up he "kicked me out" I wouldn't wish this place on anyone needing to lay their loved ones to rest.”

“Amazing experience with this funeral home. Chuck was very personable. He was very patient with us and our large family. We lost my sister unexpectedly and had never buried anyone before so we had no idea what to expect. Chuck was very helpful and kind. We loved them! My sisters service was perfect! But he needs to retire now ;) love always Rachel’s “crazy” family”
