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.

“Max and his staff have cared for several of my family members and my friends family members that were seeking a recommendation. He gives the utmost care and respect in every single situation we have needed his services. When my father in law and father passed, Max came himself over an hour away to take them into his care. I have recommended Max to several friends that needed End of life care for family members and he has provided top notch care to each one. Recently a friends father passed suddenly and Max so graciously cared for him and I also had a friend whose daughter’s life was ended violently, Max was so thoughtful and kind, respecting the families and their privacy so well. He extended over the top care and went over and beyond to assure that each loved one was presentable and that their families could view them and honor their life as they saw fit. It truly was exceptional. In situations that are stressful or when family tension rises, Max is careful and tactful in dealing with this issues and takes them in stride. If you’re looking for great attention to detail, to know that your loved one is being treated with dignity and care, to be kept up to date in every step of the process… Max and his staff won’t let you down.”

“Max and Corey were so thoughtful and compassionate while helping with my Daddy's service. They thought of things that hadn't even crossed our minds. They provided us with all the necessary information to contribute. And although we had a very limited time to get things in to them, they reminded us without being pushy. They worked well with our church, our A/V guy, and the VA cemetery. During this very emotional time for our family, they couldn't have been better. Thank you so much for all you did to make it a special day for us.”
