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.

“We are incredibly thankful for Karli and the entire team for the beautiful way they handled my father’s funeral Mass. From the very beginning, Karli’s kindness, compassion, and guidance made an overwhelming process feel manageable and peaceful. She paid attention to every detail and truly listened to our wishes, ensuring the Mass was meaningful and a perfect reflection of our father. During such a difficult time, her calm presence and care meant more to our family than words can express. We are deeply grateful for Karli and the support she provided us.”

“We’re so grateful to the team at Verkuilen-Van Deurzen Family Funeral Home for their support and kindness during such a difficult time. My dad had been in declining health for a while and spent a lot of time thinking about how he wanted things handled when the time came. Derek met with him regularly and helped work through all the details, which was such a blessing for our family when he passed. Having those arrangements already in place lifted weight off our shoulders, giving us space to mourn his passing as well as celebrating his life. Verkuilen’s care, professionalism, and compassion truly meant a lot to us and helped us feel supported every step of the way.”
