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.

“Irene and her staff at Head Duarte went above and beyond in taking care of our dad, including coming out to speak with dad about what he wanted in week prior to his passing. They did an amazing job carrying out his wishes and were in constant communication with us. Dad looked like he did before he had cancer, he looked happy and peaceful. The funeral programs were beautiful and slide show was lovely and brought back so many great memories. Our mom ended up hospitalized the day before the funeral and she couldn't attend; Irene got in contact with Cody Salazar who live streamed the funeral so that mom and my brother could be with us from the hospital room. There are no words to truly express how grateful we are for everything Head Duarte Funeral Home did for our family.”
