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.

“Beggs did a very nice job of being clear, friendly, and helpful throughout the process of my Dad’s final arrangements. They guided us through the process as “first timers”, answered a ton of questions, and were very genuine and caring. It’s clear this is not just a job to their employees but something they really take personally. Billy, Mildred, and Grace made the death experience far more bearable. Their kindness and consideration was a Godsend.”

“I wanted to say this funeral parlor was the best you could ask for Mr. Johnson and Ms. Mildred were so patient and so kind to all of us when we had to lay our dad to rest. Even though we did not have any services they had such a comfortable atmosphere. They also had a grief dog they trained to be kind to the survivors while setting up what the family needed to do, to take of dad. I just wish Doctors took a few more mins of their time in getting death certificates signed, it puts a huge strain on the family and of course the kind people at the funeral parlor. We just wanted to thank you all at Beggs you took care of mom and dad so they may now be togehter once again.”
