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.

“Funeral home was very distant and cold to the family. They did not prepare the body professionally and they offered very little service to this family. They never spoke to the pastor to get order of service even after someone pointed him out to them. I hope the family took pictures to show how unprofessional they were. The funeral home would not even transport the flowers. Wonder why that was🤔 Service was at Mt Zion. I'd want some of my money back!”

“They were very kind, compassionate, and professional. Especially during a very sad time in our lives. I felt like they were there for us 24/7. Thank you from our hearts for making all the planning so easy. The Doyle Family”
