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.

“House of Johnson conducts business poorly. I live over an hour away, so when my father passed away locally in Jackson I researched nearby funeral homes and came across House of Johnson, their reviews so far had mostly been positive so I thought I'd be in good hands. Sherri was very nice and I have no complaints about her. She took notes about what I needed and was helpful. After meeting with Sherri, I thought I would have my fathers cremated remains shipped to me in a few days time as that was what we agreed upon and I paid for. IT ACTUALLY TOOK 3 WEEKS- and I had to call the funeral home 4 times to remind them to ship my fathers remains to me, and after all of that, they still shipped the remains to the address I did not want them to go after I confirmed with them two or three times where they should go. Several days after my father had passed the Jackson Medical Examiners office called to let me know that House of Johnson still had not picked up my father, a most unusual gap in time that makes me feel upset even though I had arranged with the ME office and House of Johnson a few days prior that I would use their services. Overall my impression from House of Johnson is that they did not care about handling my business in a timely manner and I urge anyone in the Jackson area to consider another funeral home where they might receive more care.”

“The House of Johnson is a 5 star funeral home. They do the most excellent work I have ever seen. The owner does a magnificent job dealing with familes and their embalmer Dominique Johnson has to be the best in the state.”
