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.

“Mike and his family have been absolutely great to us. They always answered my call for any questions or allowing us to come in and talk more about my dad's service. They were a great help in getting things sorted out and understanding why we needed the death certificates so quickly. I highly recommend them because they made it so easy and smooth to give such a great service. It's a really hard time when dealing with someone passing but Mike and the family made sure they were not part of the stress to make sure you give your loved one a great service.”
