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.

“They need help with their phone system. Very challenging to communicate with them. But they are friends of the family. So blessings to you as you help them through this difficult time.”
— Barbara Latimer
“Worst customer service experience in the the history of funerals. Father passed mid June, the funeral was July 5th, had to have the funeral with no ashes, and to this day (Aug 27th and 51 days later) we still haven't been provided our love ones ashes after multiple empty promises. Also like to mention that our love one's final will and testament was to be cremated. They embombed without permission and charged the family for that, and then they charged for the cremation as well. My mother is in her 70's and is becoming more and more ill over the fact that this service have not provided our father, her husband for 37 years ashes - a service that claimed to love and care about her. At this point they won't even accept our calls or even make an attempt to provide a new empty promise. Loosing our father was already to much to bare, and now our mothers life could be potentially short lived due to unnecessary stress and strain being put on by this service. There's no question that they haven't any compassion for us or our mother. Very disappointed.”
