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 pleasure to have worked with Dan Simmons this January when my wife's dad passed away. He worked with us with all the process to get the body back in the Philippines. He made it very stress free. He did everything from dealing with all necessary paperwork for the Philippine Embassy, to looking for the cheapest airfare, and even delivering an extra death certificate to our home in person to accommodate us. Dan, thank you again for helping us, me and my wife are very glad we reached out to your office for service.”

“The staff at Hubbard Funeral Home is wonderful. They are very respectful and helpful, and not pushy. They communicated very well throughout the process and were flexible with arrangements. The funeral home itself was perfect for our celebration of life. They displayed the pictures we provided beautifully around the viewing room and then we had plenty of space to socialize in the lounge. Thank you.”

The entire staff at Hubbard was outstanding. Hubbard's did perfect job with mom's makeup, hair and clothes, . Mom looked great. She would have been pleased with her appearance. The family justed need to do was ask for something and it was handled. They enticapled our needs before we could ask. If i could give 10 stars they would get 10 stars. Thank you for helping the family thru a very difficult time and emotionally trying time.”
