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.

“Their platform has the capability to handle all aspects of your funeral home CRM. If for some reason you need a solution not already found on the Passare, they will work hard to create a solution. Customer service goes far and above what you would expect. Highly recommend Passare for your CRM, they are so much more.”

“I have used many, many (many) databases over the years with different companies. Without a doubt Passare is the smoothest, easiest, most user-focused interface I have encountered. The data revolves around people rather than a number assignment or contract reference. I can look up a decedent, easy-peasy. If someone from their family with a different surname calls, so long as they have been attached to the case I can look up by that name and it ties me to the decedent. Brilliant! I work at a desk and am not a Funeral Director so I cannot comment on that side of the system but I expect it is easy to use as the sections I work with.”

“Haskell Funeral Home was amazing with our loved one and our family. The professional staff had such compassion for us as we made the final decisions to honor our mom. So glad Christina was there to guide us through every detail. Thanks to Christina also for our mom looking absolutely beautiful after having some rough last days. We couldn't be more pleased with Christina and all her staff at Haskell Funeral Home. Most definitely recommend them.”
