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 experience with Mr. Cantu and his family grew out of my ministry in Refugio, just north of Corpus Christi. He came into a town where funeral services were largely supplied by a very nice funeral director and his beautiful facility. Having been in the funeral business years before, I introduced myself to Mr. Cantu. I found him to be a genial, and very proper and professional businessman. Several families spoke to me of significant savings and less perceived pressure in facing bereavement, while using the services of Mr. Cantu. Mr. Cantu provided the same quality of goods and professional services, at a lower price point. It was that simple. Even though I have been away from South Texas for several years, I still count Mr. Cantu, his lovely wife, and family to be dear and respected friends.”
