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.

“We recently had services for my father at Ferguson-Vernon Funeral Home, and I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience, especially with Aaron as our funeral director. I live in Florida and the services were held in New Jersey, which could have easily made everything feel overwhelming and complicated. Instead, Aaron’s communication made the entire process seamless. He was consistently responsive, clear, and patient, no matter how many questions I had. Every call and text was handled quickly and thoughtfully, which gave me so much peace during an incredibly difficult time. From the very beginning, Aaron treated my dad and our family with dignity and respect. It meant a great deal to me knowing he was the one there at the start of this process and that my dad was handled with care from the very first moment. The attention to detail throughout the planning process was exceptional. I am a very detail oriented person myself, and I appreciated the care Aaron took with every element of the service. Nothing felt rushed or generic. He offered us many different options and gave us the creative freedom to customize my dad’s visitation in a way that truly reflected who he was. Aaron supported our ideas while also gently guiding us through decisions we had not anticipated needing to make. He was genuinely kind and compassionate throughout the entire process. It never felt transactional or routine. The team working at the actual visitation was equally wonderful. They clearly understand that families are going through one of the hardest moments of their lives and they treated us with patience and care the whole time. I am incredibly grateful that Aaron was the one guiding us through this. If you find yourself needing these services, I would highly recommend Aaron and the team at Ferguson-Vernon.”

“I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff is. We lost my dad suddenly; Aaron guided us from the first call from the hospital to helping us put together an amazing service. Both he and Jeanne were incredible...warm and knowledgeable but also helped us smile when we needed it. I can't put into words how grateful we are. Paul you have an amazing team there- we can't thank you enough.”

“Jeanne was wonderful. She handled all the details including certain notifications. The entire process was made so much easier for us. I highly recommend Ferguson in your time of need.”
