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.

“I was looking for cremation society that would handle my final arrangements so that my family would not be burdened with it. I called around many places in the Tidewater area in Virginia. I talked with Lisa Oliver at cremation Society. She put my mind at rest immediately, and I made an appointment. My sister accompanied me when we went and she made everything so simple and pleasant it fit all my needs and I knew my family wouldn’t have to worry about what to do when it came time to make arrangements at my demise. I was able to make all the decisions that were necessary And all the arrangements fit. The needs I had. They had many options I could choose from they were thoughtful and kind there were options. I had no idea were available for my families consideration. It eased my mind to know they were taken into consideration. I’m very happy with the services I chose, and the expenses were reasonable.
