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 wonderful experience. I spoke with Dorothy for 1/2 hour on the phone getting her help trying to locate my infant sister’s unmarked grave. She went above and beyond helping me. Two days later some of my siblings and I went to Calvery Cemetery to find her grave. After searching for a while I called Dorothy. She stayed on the phone with me telling me where to go until we found my sister’s grave. It was very emotional for myself and siblings. Dorothy was very compassionate, patient and understanding. We then went to the office to meet with her. She was very professional and helpful. I cannot say enough positive things about Dorothy and the incredible way she helped us. Forever grateful.”

“Dorothy is super rude!!! Wow we purchased three plots there for my mother and my father and my mom had questioned and she was the worst person. They realy need to hire a more compassionate, caring, and kind person to answer the phone especially when people have questions.”
— Young Mee
“We worked with Dorothy she absolutely was amazing. We were able to pay for all four of our crypt plots on time. Even when she is extremely busy she is very professional. Thank you Dorothy. Todd and Brenda Kise”
