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.

“Okay, I was here for my uncles wake and the experience was the same when I was here about 15 years earlier for a different uncle. First of all the place is very out dated and needs to be remodeled considering how much money they get for each funeral and considering they are the only funeral home in Glenwood city. I mean come on, give people a little more bang for their buck. I understand it is an old home but there could be some minor tweaks done to make it look a lot better. I also hate to complain, I have been in the customer service industry for 15 years, and know how it is. Upgrades need to be done, it's embarrassing. Frankly, no disrespect, but if I were dead I'd rather be thrown off a cliff than have a wake in this depressing place. Amen.”

“This place was disgusting ! The ceiling is missing panels with insulation falling down and the ones that were there were water stained and moldy. The carpet was stretched (kept tripping on it) and stained and I don’t think it’s been updated interior wise since early 80s & It smelt like a wet shoe!”
