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.

“Lantzer Funeral Home has been part of our family for three generations, and once again in a thoughtful, sensitive, and economical fashion took care of us. In this case the situation was compounded by the fact that the death occurred out of state. The extra details would have been very difficult if it were not for the professional expertise of Barbara.”

“Thank you so much Barbara Lantzer and Rick Slayman for our Mom and Dad's beautiful service yesterday. You all did a wonderful job. We really appreciate it very much. ♡”

“I wouldn't recommend this place even for a pet's funeral. We held my grandmother's funeral here. Not only did they not have a hurst to do the percession. In fact when it came time to go to the grave site they didn't do a percession they even left the family behind. When we got to the grave site we had two guys from the funeral home helping us by being paul bearers because we didn't have enough to be pual bearers, I only tell you this because one of them ended up dropping the casket, if I wouldn't have been holding one side of the casket by myself he would of been in her grave under her casket.”
