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.

“We live in the area. This place always has a "natural gas smell" coming from it. There is almost always piles of trash(clearly from here) just left by the back door for days sometimes weeks at a time. It's in such poor condition that homeless people have started living not on the property, but inside the structures on the property.. If this is how they treat the place and the neighborhood, i can only imagine how they treat um "clients."”

“I give this place negative 5 stars. My mom passed away yesterday and I am calling around for prices and services. The woman that answered was incredibly rude and I literally felt so disrespected that I hung up on her. I will never use or recommend this place !!”
