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.

“Currently, the hole inside the headstone that holds my brothers' vase is filled with a fire ant colony/pile/hill and so is the perimeter of his headstone. There are sand spurs everywhere at this cemetery. It has definitely gone downhill. Please do better. I couldn't even stay, but for a few seconds due to the fireants.”

“We had a wonderful graveside service today for my mother. The staff was wonderful and accommodating. After hurricane Ian the property was nice and cleaned up. The grass was all mowed and all the sites were very up kept. I would like to thank the staff at Hodges and the cemetery for helping my mother rest.”

“Owned a plot for over 10 years and have asked since why they won’t block the maintenance building from view and every time I get we have bushes on order. It’s a disgrace that I have to look at a maintenance building when I go and visit my loved ones!!!!”
