Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

What Families Say
“My father passed away on a Thursday morning. The home hospice company had previously called Daniel J Hughes Funeral services as my mother wanted them to handle the services. When the hospice called to notify of his passing, Daniel was at our house within an hour. He took great care to handle the transfer of my father with dignity. We met with him that afternoon to make the arrangement and the process went very well. Daniel explained all options in detail and a difficult process was completed with ease. The funeral service was held two days later and my family was completely satisfied. I highly recommend Daniel J. Hughes Funeral Services.”
