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.

“Brian and his staff, was phenomenal and one of the best funeral homes I have ever been to. Treated my grandpa with nothing but respect and dignity. They also did such an amazing job with my grandpa. He looked like he was peacefully sleeping, and very much alive. Highly professional and respectful, and didn’t feel rushed at all, everybody came together and it was beautiful. Thank you Brian you are the goat 🪻🐐”
