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 would give them a 6 star rating if it were possible! They handled my mother’s service earlier this year and now our son’s. They were compassionate and handled our requests with care. We highly recommend.”
— Kathy Cox
“My mother passed away February 2nd 2025, and my younger brother passed away November 22nd 2019. Beard’s took care of both funeral’s. They were so caring and professional. I live in Kansas any questions I had all I had to do is call. The funeral was beautiful both times for my brother and also my mother. They were like family. Thank you so very much for making difficult times into a celebration of life.”
— Lavonda Howard
“Beards was beyond accommodating when handling my father’s funeral. Any request we had simple or odd they handled it like a pro. Especially coordinating with the Fayetteville police so that a racecar could lead our procession and carry my father’s ashes to his final resting place. They made planning his funeral as easy as it could be.”
— Michelle Smith
