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.

“It's amazing how one glaring mistake can mess up an entire experience. We waited for 6 months to have a death certificate corrected. We were told the correction was entered only to find out 5 months later it was not!! Today, my father's estate is still suffering from the Chappell Team's not being truthful. It has only served to make an already trying time far worse..... And to add insult to injury no one ever took accountability for the oversight or apologized to my grieving mother. I do not recommend.”

“My mother recently passed and Chappell's Funeral Home handled the arrangements. I want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Chappell for their outstanding service. Mrs. Chappell and her team were always available to us for any questions or concerns we had. My family greatly appreciated the care and dedication we received from the Chappell family.”
