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.

“I had a very positive experience when going through a difficult time. Liz took care of every detail and I didn’t have to do a thing. If I had a question she got back to me right away. And she had already thought of and had taken care of what I needed. Many friends and relatives commented on what a beautiful service it was.”

“Our Mom recently passed away and O’Connor Brothers, handled the arrangements. Camille was absolutely outstanding in every way imaginable. Courteous, kind, sympathetic and just an incredibly organized and amazing person; every aspect of the services was utter perfection. The staff the day of the funeral was also amazing. Timely, efficient and kind; they were just great. While I hope I don’t have a reason to use a a funeral home in the near future; if I did I would 100% use Camille and O’Connor Brothers.”
