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.

“Recently attended a visitation of a loved one. Sad to see the funeral home seems to not care much. Funeral homes typically have an attendant at the door. They had one who sat never greeted, never held the door for anyone, and didn't assist with direction for people to know where to get in line, which people were not in any controlled environment. Seats were set up in middle of the room, instead of an environment for visitation. Very run down inside, needs a face-lift. Restroom very dark. A lamp in the corner. The least they could do is make sure it's a welcoming environment. RB”

“I would like to address the review by Emily M. We are not sure what your review pertains to. There has never been anyone removed from the funeral home or forbidden to attend a service or visitation at our funeral home.”

“We lost a love one on 12/26/2016 then lost one on 02/23/2017 our first experience at this and Heyle was so bad they did nothing at all but want your money and get you out of there went to Dendow Primm and what a difference the respect and worked with us all the way through. I would never recommend Heyle to anyone to handle a funeral for a loved one or even my family dog.”
