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.

“During such a difficult time for our family, the funeral home staff was incredibly professional, compassionate, and accommodating. We are especially grateful to Caroline and Stanley for their dedication and hard work in putting everything together so thoughtfully. Although it was a very sad moment for us, they made sure to keep us informed and supported throughout the entire process. They treated our family with kindness and respect, and they made my mother-in-law look absolutely beautiful. We truly appreciate everything they did for us. Thank you for your care, professionalism, and service during such an emotional time.”

“Stanley served our family with a heart. Something you wont find anymore with most funeral homes who are so used to seeing death. He was proffesional and supportive. Offered reasonable pricing compared to others. Service was outstanding. Thank you Stanley!”
— Macri Kim
“This place is the most compassionate and sensitive for our loved ones who have parted. Stanley, manager, is great and has helped my family all steps of this journey. I buried my uncle here in 2020 and my grandmother in 2011. I would recommend them - they are not out to get your $ - they are there for you. God bless them!”
