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.

“Trader funeral home provided an excellent service for my father today. Tommy and Ross have worked with the Miller family numerous times in the past and this experience was no different. It was extremely comforting for us to see my father look so peaceful today. I can’t say enough good about Tommy and Ross Trader. Thank you so much for taking exceptional care of my father.”
— Scott Miller

“Limited parking, I had to park on the street and walk a ways to get in. The funeral home is rather small and looked dated. They only had one tiny restroom in the back that was underneath a stairwell, I had to lean over the entire time to use the urinal just to avoid hitting my head on the steps. The staff seemed to think that it was funny as they warned me to watch my head while in there. I'm only 6'1", I wasn't amused.”
