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.

“We had the opportunity to meet Walter. He was knowledgeable about some questions we had. Nice man. Kim was exceptional. I hope Walter knows what an asset she is to Cliffords. She truly is a Saint. Thanks so much for your help during a difficult time.”
— Debra Fitzgerald
“I would not have chosen this funeral home as they're NOT the Clifford family. Using The Clifford Boys pictures on the website is misleading and gross! Customer service is non existent. Don't bother! Go elsewhere!”

“Our family has always used Clifford's Funeral Home, so when we recently needed their services we called Walter who is the new owner. Working with him and his staff was an immense comfort during this incredibly stressful time. He was knowledgeable, respectful and empathetic towards all of our families wishes. We are grateful to the staff at Clifford's for their kindness and support during our time of loss.”
