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.

“Truely a wonderful group of people. From the first call with George Short to working with Patsy everything was handled with dignity and grace. No request was to much. A beautiful service was held in their Milton Chapel and my sister was transported back to Pennsylvania to be laid to rest. The gentleman who assisted with this were also amazing. It was hard to make arrangements but we could not be happier with the beautiful final moments we had thanks to Short.”

“The gentleman were all helpful and kind .. The presentation of a beloved friend was hedias.. Her base make up was not even blended in .. Her eye liner was half way but on by a very unsteady hand .. The lip stick itself was sliding off the sides of her mouth .. I am in aww of this service.. As I know your business has been around for many years .. So I was very suprised of how I saw my friend”
