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.

“Very happy with the compassion and service I received from Jerome and Erin. They are thoughtful, personable people who answered all my questions and fulfilled all my requests. My family member passed here in Manhattan but was interred in Nebraska; Jerome handled the coordination with the other funeral home for a smooth transition. They are knowledgeable people who understand the paperwork involved, which was a blessing. They will treat you and your loved one with dignity and respect.”

“Jerome and Pastor Louis were so incredibly supportive of our vision for my grandson’s service. The loss was so sudden and unexpected and they provided us the strength and space to celebrate his life with our family and friends near and far. The chapel and gathering space where lovely and every step along the way was simple and they clearly answered all our questions and helped us traverse the difficult task of saying goodbye. Thank you all so much. ❤️”
