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.

“So happy to find a funeral home that also caters to people with pets. Our beloved corgi was treated with the utmost respect and dignity. Nicole and Erin were amazing they made us feel so much respect for our grieving and concern for our sweet little girl. If they treat families of humans the way they do for deceased pets other funeral homes need to learn from them. Thank you so much. We will always remember what you have done for us and our beloved baby girl Emmy.”
