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.

“My mother had a terrible experience with these people. On her first visit when she went to view the body before cremation they were rude. Seemed to have an issue with her before ever meeting her. Viewing a body post autopsy is quite frankly traumatic as is, but it felt like a small closet and very grim. Nobody seems to care or warn you. They also openly shared very gruesome details about cremation, that nobody asked for. They did ask her if she wanted his fingerprints and a clipping of his hair. The hair they gave her that day, said they would try to get his fingerprints. The worst part is we didn't get his ashes when we were supposed to. Then when she went to get his ashes she asked about his fingerprints and the lady said why didn't you tell me you wanted them? When SHE DID the first day, told her multiple times, even discussed how it's not always possible to do. But they didn't even try, they obviously forgot and then instead of owning up to their mistake, they try and place blame on a woman grieving the loss of her husband, absolutely shameful. Absolutely nothing can be done about it now. Why wouldn't you take the fingerprints even if you weren't sure, just to be safe.”

“Don't send anyone you care about here. Dropping the ball on getting a person's finger prints sucks but instead of taking ownership for your mistake saying "well we cant bring him back to get them now" to a grieving widow is heartless. Shame on you. Shame on you for treating people so callously in such sensitive and vulnerable moments. You reap what you sow and someone will treat your family the way you treated mine. Instead of doing what you could to make this process easier you made it as traumatic as possible.”
— Sarah Taylor
“In the toughest times they made things easier for myself and my family .i can say i was proud to have them take my mother home to be with my father .i would recommend them to anyone . Good people , good service, good attention to detail and reasonable rates . Thank you all for caring for my mother .it was appreciated.”
