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.

“Daly funeral home is outstanding. The staff was caring and paid attention to every detail we requested, in a timely manner. I reached out to other Funeral Homes initially and instantly felt at ease with Daly Funeral Home. I would recommend them to anyone in need of these services, they were amazing during such a difficult time.”

“I am extremely upset with the funeral home. As one of the pallbearers for my father- in- laws funeral we were told to be at the cemetery for an 11am start. I was enraged when we got there at 10:30 to see a couple of the pallbearers and some complete strangers placing the casket in place! They didn't even wait for the entire family to get there and they had already started!! Completely unprofessional. I'll never get this day back and I found it extremely rude of them to proceed without the entire family being there, my wife was pulling in behind us.. If the start time is 11, then you damn well wait until 11 to start. If were told they were starting at 10:30, we would have been there at 10!!”
