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.

“Richard Funeral home provided excellent service to my family. We are new to the area and had no idea who to contact or what to do for my mother’s arrangements. From the first phone call Sam was courteous, helpful and sympathetic to our situation. He made our experience uncomplicated he even came into the office on a holiday to meet with my family and myself. The process was straightforward and tailored to my family’s request. I can’t say enough nice things about Richard Funeral home. We are grateful for their services and the respect and compassion that we were given during our time of sorrow.”
