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.

“Unfortunately, the new management has made a difficult process, very impersonal and even more difficult. Thankfully, the previous owner was able to help see our arrangements through, as well as, rectify several errors in the published obituary in time. We had to book our own police, as the Ferdinand staff they claimed none were available - all we did was call and like magic, we have three police officers ready to go for the funeral. They run this like a business, which it is, but it really lacks any sort of compassion. Basically, a move it along attitude, we are just a number, regardless of what we were going through. One day one person was on staff, she was unable to book police officers, laughed when we told her we were able to do it, and then told us she was off for the next four days anyway. At the burial, the staff member could not find the crucifix, she misplaced it. We had to ask for it three times until she petulantly went back to the car to look for it. Unfortunately, my mother already has arrangements here for the future, so I will have to deal with this incompetence and lack of any compassion again. They only care about their check. I gave the second star for the previous owner's help, as we are repeat customers with other family members. In short, I would no longer recommend Ferdinand. It went from a well-oiled family run machine to a corporate business.”

“Fernando and his staff were amazing!! When we started Fernando was out of town but his staff Andrea, Jorge and Angela were super amazing. When he got back on Monday, he had been updated with all our needs and just the tenderness in which they treated us was impressive. They were with us through the service at the church and at the cementary. They honestly made this painfull process super easy. You dont think of recomending funeral homes but at some point in our lives we need one and both my family and I will recomend Ferdinand Funeral Home to anyone that finds themselves in this situation. Thank you Fernando!”
