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.

“At one point in life we all may have to succumb to dealing with funerals. I am very much pleased in the highly professional way "Foster Funeral Home" handled my immediate affairs. Unfortunately, my dear Mother passed away at the age of 92, and the "Foster Funeral Home" was promptly available, and highly professional when they came to pick my Mom up. They handled her as if she was their own. No jarring her, bumbling her, or, dropping my Mom. They treated her gingerly. On finalizing the financial business part, the "Foster Funeral Home" looks out for the cares of their clients. I wish I could say more, when you work with businesses like this, it stores humanity back into the world. Thank you Foster Funeral Home, I use the phrase, 'Kudos' often, and you deserve it more so! KUDOS "FOSTER FUNERAL HOME"! THANK YOU!”
