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.

“Our family has trusted Wood Funeral Home in Philadelphia for over 30 years, and they have truly become like family to us. The care, professionalism, and compassion they show each and every time are unmatched. Cynthia and Wanda Wood go above and beyond to make sure everything is handled with grace and respect.

“Good evening Google family. My parents chose the Wood Funeral home to officiate my dad's funeral back in 2011, so this establishment has always been close and dear to my parent's hearts. I am now dealing with Miss Cynthia Wood. All interactions have been pleasant and informative. I love that Cynthia carefully explains everything. A person is given paperwork to peruse as well as email to look over. This business is efficient and professional. Contact the Wood Funeral home for all of your loved one's needs.”
