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.
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 main complaint was the printed obituary. The 50 requested prints were so dark that the information was extremely difficult to read. A resolve was not offered and when I expressed my disappointment, upon my return from the burial, I was provided 10 clearer copies. Since no other resolve was offered, I am requesting a refund because of the color content and the partially illegible wording on the printed obituaries. This occurred after the service, by the way, so none of the guests received the reprinted copies. Overall, I was very disappointed with the personnel, with the exception of Karen Jones. The lack of communication, the unwillingness to listen and lack of an attempt to resolve the issues I was experiencing that was taxing during an already stressful time. This was not what I experienced previously in 2019 with my father's homegoing.”
