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.

“Like most things, you aren't aware of funeral homes until you are in need of one and last week my mother-in-law passed. H. D. Oliver was recommended by the rabbi who came to her bedside and my husband and his father used them to pick her up, plan the services, and her cremation. Her funeral was today and the staff took care of absolutely everything, they were exceptional and everything was handled with a lot of respect and care and attention to detail. They really went out of their way and provided all the extra touches specific to a Jewish funeral service you'd need/want and took care of bringing in a rabbi to conduct the ceremony. Top notch in a tough time.”

“HD Oliver Funeral Home was just plain awesome. My family and I could not have asked for a more professional and friendly team to assist us during a very difficult time with the passing of my mother. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this business. Every question answered, every request for assistance delivered, every expectation exceeded. Walt was our original Point of Contact, but the Service conflicted with his vacation. No Worries at all. The others on the staff stepped right up and didn't miss a thing. Allison was great with her help with the memorial video and on the day of the service. While this was a hard time for us, it was exceptional to have a team of people that made this part of the experience completely worry-free. What a relief. Michael Simone was also wonderful and provided the eulogy for my mother. Again, I can't say enough about how wonderful he is/was and the eulogy was spot on. Thank you so much for your comfort, professionalism and compassion. Tim Richards”

“The fact that a business in such a sensitive industry sends marketing material to families who have RECENTLY had a loved one transition, speaks volumes to your lack of care, and your hunger for money. If someone wanted to use your business, they WOULD. Its like your preying on people's death. Very disgusting and deplorable...you'd be better of running a commerical or internet ad instead of rudely targeting grieving families..if you have the budget.”
