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.

“David McKnight and team were incredibly efficient and professional in a difficult time for our family. They thought of everything we weren't able to think of and ensured the funeral and burial services for my mom were exactly as she would have wanted, including the right priest. Many thanks for making a difficult time easy for us. Lucy”

“Our family received excellent care and compassion from start to finish and we were very grateful for the fine funeral services that were provided to our mother most recently, as well as our father several years ago. Robert “Bobby” Abaunza is to be commended for taking care of every detail in a warm yet professional manner. In this world where people often wish for the great service of years past can trust this fine funeral home to provide beautiful services to fit any family’s needs or wishes. Highly recommended.”
