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.

“Our experience with Foston Funeral home was traumatic on top of just losing our Mother. I felt My mothers memorial was not what I expected, the celebration wasn't shown on that day and it felt more like an opportunity to make money. There were no pictures in her obituary, unlike my fathers obituary who past a couple of years before and the set up of videos or pictures were not shown. I would recommend to find another funeral home for your loved ones who will be financially honest, compassionate, rude-free and really sincere during your loss and grieving time. But to experience this with Foston Funeral home is hurtful and devastating. We are praying for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one.”
