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.

“Deserving of many more stars. Compassionate, personal care given to family during this difficult time with dignity given to lost loved one. Their family run business makes you feel welcome as part of their family.”
— Karen Cole
“You don't often think about the funeral home in town until you need to utilize the service. Many of the funeral homes now are owned by big businesses and have employees running the business and doing what funeral directors do. The difference with Johnson's Funeral Home is that it is a big part of the community, they know us, they are friends and have their own memories and tears for those who have passed. Johnson's has been a family run business for many generations. Melissa and her staff provide comfort and support all along the way. Recently my dear brother passed, Melissa pulled out all the stops to make the services a celebration of his life in his beloved North Berwick. She worked with the Fire Department and Police to arrange the most honorable escorted to his resting place. Billy your care and thoughtfulness in the painful process will forever be remembered. Thank you isn't enough to express my appreciation to Melissa and her staff. I would rate it 100 stars but you only offer 5. Gratefully Betsey Curtis Hasty”

“I can not say enough kind words about Melissa. She is a kind, compassionate and warm human being. She was absolutely amazing with my devastated family after unexpectedly losing my father and thank you is not enough to express how wonderful she was going above and beyond to help us.”
— Andrea Morin
