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.

“This place is a total disaster. The graves are caving in with many families infringing on burial plots. Took these photos that shows the Tauanu'u family putting their concrete form right against my dad's headstone and not on the plot line. No respect! See it's breaking because God recognizes that disrespectful act.”
— Gary Medeiros
“My mother and stepdad are buried here among other family members. Unfortunately this place is not well kept. It's up to the families to take care of their plots. At one time this place was so beautiful. Their are no restroom. Water is located against the fence and along the property. No one on site either. Come prepared.”
— Tari Morales
“December 22, 2023. Sad condition. Grass tall to my knees. Grave stones hidden. Several stones taken. Sunken graves.”
— Kimo Boy
