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.

“If i could give this place 0 stars I would! The staff is so old, rude and impatient! Never mind the fact that the family was mourning a lost, they rushed everything. Make up included. My grandma didnt even look like herself. It took everything in me to bite my tongue at the staff. Wouldnt recommend this company to my worst enemy. I'm hated the viewing just as well as the funeral. I hate my family ever chose to go with them! DO NOT USE THEM FOR YOUR LOVED ONES HOMEGOING SERVICE!”

“We were most happily satisfied with the Staff at McRae Funeral Home. They enabled us to have a very successful Memorial Service in their chapel. They guided us through the oft difficult steps following my wife's mother's passing. We highly recommend them. Their fees are very reasonable, and are probably the lowest for the area, but you get good and competent treatment in a time you and your family need it most.”
— Phil Brown
“An experienced and qualified staff where everyone is treated with respect and dignity during their time of loss.”
— Donna McRae
