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.

“Trinity Memorial Funeral services left much to be desired when I used their services to bury my loved one. While the arrangements were beautiful, I think they can be more proactive and sensitive. The communication was not effective during the planning process. When I brought it to the office manager’s attention, she came off as insensitive by assuming that I knew things that I didn’t, and she even appeared to have a dismissive approach. I was a distressed daughter, trying to plan a funeral for my mother. Overall, I feel the customer service could have been better, and there could have been more compassion.”

“Very professional, very experienced. The few issues that came up were promptly dealt with. I recommend them without reservation.”

“When our mom passed away, we were so unprepared since we didn't expect for her to pass away so quickly. Since we didn't know any funeral home, the police officer that came out offered to call one. Trinity Memorial came out and took our mom away. They offered to come to our home to discuss the process and we greatly appreciate it. However, they were 45 minutes late and they never apologize for it. They just called 15 minutes after they were supposed to meet us and said they were on their way. Upon arrival they never discussed with us about anything including costs but proceeded to have us sign the papers. We asked for the costs before signing anything and that's when they gave us a price. We told them we need to think about it since it was a lot of money and they took the quote with them. Afterwards, we found another funeral home and their cost was about 75% less expensive because they took their time to talk with us and gave us a price based on what we needed. We drove to Trinity Memorial Chapel to pay them for transportation and other costs incurred by them and asked them to call the funeral home we choose to let them know when they could take care of my mom. Trinity Memorial never called the funeral home so the next day we had to call them again to find out what was happening. They said they were waiting for our funeral home to call them. Trinity Memorial employees that meet with us never showed any compassion nor seemed to be interested in helping us with the process. I would never recommend them to anyone who goes thru such a difficult time.”
