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.

“Funeral home handled my family well with the passing of my father. Everyone is cool and when you walk in, it just feels like family. Al will try to get you EVERYTHING you desire, keep it straight with you on costs/practicality, give you a hug, give you referrals for estate management and give you a couple of needed laughs. I love it here. I still come months after cremating my father because everyone in the office is just cool to talk to and have a comforting, welcoming spirit. I recommend this funeral home to EVERYONE. Also, they are great for notary services and pre-need and life insurance. Highly recommend.”

“Very very unprofessional. They treat black men worse than slave owners. They give you one price and afterwards it's a totally different number. Very unsanitary as far as the seating area is concerned. And after all the services we were rushed out. I asked for a obituary and was told to get off the property. When I apologized and explained my situation Pervis called the police on the family. Horrible people.”

“Do not let this business handle your loved one's funeral. They promised me one price for the vault, then changed it. They assumed my husband's place of work wrong, and told me I did not have to pay anything up front and the insurance would pay. Then when they realized they made a mistake, they called me 2 days before the funeral and said they needed the money now. I was very upset on top of grieving for my husband's passing. Then, because they did not have enough capital to purchase the coffin, etc., they had to borrow the money, and then charged me an extra fee that was not in the amount that they took out of the insurance check. After paying them $12,000.00, they sent me an additional bill 4 months after the funeral. Very unprofessional!! I disputed it because I could not understand why they billed me so late. When I disputed it, they hired an attorney who charged me more that the bill amount. Greedy. Be very careful. Stay away from this business!!!”
