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.

“Engaging Personnel Quality Ambience Excellent Video Production Bad Church Service - Priest Sparse English Delivery and Dialect Highly Disappointing and Inappropriate in that very little content could be understood by everyone. Acoustics also terrible. Woman Singing during the Church Service was spectacular. Amen”

“We recently entrusted the services of our Dad to this funeral home and couldn’t be more satisfied. Steve and Jared handled everything with the utmost respect for our Dad and our Family. Every request we had was met with compassion and a sense of urgency to ensure we were happy with the results. We know our Dad would have been proud of how his life was honored, and for that we will be forever grateful! Thank You… The Centak Family”
