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.

“Our God mother/Aunt just passed away and Rachel Barker was very accommodating to our needs. She did really good job at laying our God mother/Aunt to rest. Rachel is very professional and knows what she is doing. Paquelet/Arnold has a great employee with Rachel. She goes above and beyond for you.”
— Jana Boak
“Rachel was the kindest and most organized person. She took care of everything with me so that everything ran smoothly. Made sure that the mother of the deceased had everything she envisioned for a beautiful service. My favorite thing she said at the end of the funeral was that she took care of the little boy that had passed like her own, and she truly did. I can’t imagine there is a better employee. It was an honor to meet her and have her be a part.”
— Emily Mauser
“We can’t say enough about Paquelet Arnold-Lynch. We shopped around and the facility was beautiful, had plenty of room and it was also the most economical. Rachel Barker was so professional, accommodating and so empathetic to all of our needs. She walked us through the entire process from planning to setting everything up and facilitated until we got to the cemetery. Needless to say the process of losing our mom was so much easier because of Rachel Barker and the care and compassion of the entire Paquelet staff.”
— Diana Landis
