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.

“From preplanning for our parents with Monique to Dad's much sooner than expected services with George, our family received the most caring and informational service from the entire Pellerin's staff in New Iberia. Dad's services were done with such attention to detail, it was amazing. We could not have asked for a more beautiful service. It was as though George knew dad personally since Dad's favorite hobby, fishing was put into every aspect of the service. Our family is forever grateful to Pellerin's New Iberia.”

“In our dealings with Pellerin’s funeral home when my mother recently passed away, we were so appreciative of the kind, compassionate and professional service that we received. First, the two gentlemen who were sent to moms’ home by Pellerin’s at 4:00 am to transport her were extremely kind and compassionate. The next day we met with Denise and her assistant who also did outstanding job guiding us through the funeral planning process. Denise has the perfect temperament for her job…which I know is not an easy one! She was so patient and warm yet professional as we attempted to make all the necessary decisions. She and her assistant were willing to go the extra mile to accommodate our requests. And, we even received a delicious fresh baked rum cake from the funeral directo’rs wife! ♥️”

“We cannot say enough about the staff at Pellerin's for taking care of our father's services. From the gentlemen picking dad up at home after his passing to the services at graveside, the staff was professional, compassionate, attentive, and respectful. Denise and Monique were so helpful with making the process easier, from explaining everything along the way, to scheduling all the necessary outside entities. The attention to detail was amazing and they made sure that our father's military honors were exactly what they needed to be and more. We could not have asked for a better facility and staff to honor our father. We will be forever grateful.”
