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.

“The place is horrible ; I asked to view my dads body before the cremation process and they said it was up to his wife whom was shutting his kids out and away and they had no care knowing my RIGHT AND LAWS I’m obligated to say good bye and confirm it’s him. Not to mention I was also told to see him it would be $400 . This place is a JOKE . Kelly to be exact.! Not to mention when told I was going to get a call back she avoided me cause she was talking with his wife and ignoring me . .very unprofessional and just messy staffing . I wouldn’t send my dead dog here .”

“It has been 6 years since I used this service. They were wonderful caring people. If the same people are still there I can give no higher recommendation. They took Care of my daughter”
— David Smith
“The staff was very nice and comforting. I really didn’t know what to expect. The ladies was very knowledgeable. They gave me a better understanding about the process. The lobby was nice & clean. It didn’t have that funeral home smell. This was a great place to have my brother’s soul lifted. Thank you so much. I will be recommending you to any of the family that wishes to be cremated.”
