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.

— Nati Abad
“My family loved one recently passed and his services were held there. Me living in FL ordered flowers through their web site. I ordered the flowers on a Friday morning for service being held between 1-3pm on Saturday. The site assured they would be delivered on time! Not only my flowers but another family members arrangements never showed up. My daughter-in-law who’s father just passed had to bring to their attention, an employee had to go to the florist during the service to obtain the flowers so they could at least be presented at end of service. The flowers definitely were not worth $123.00, arrangement was tiny. My husband called and complained the following Monday. Staff member said they would look into the situation and call us back. Never got a call! I don’t recommend for your future needs!”
