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.

“Very professional and great communication to males, unfortunately when it came to my sister in law and I. Felt very disrespected and unfortunately made us feel like we didnt know what our mothers wishes are. I don't need someone who never spoke to my mother, tell me how she wanted things and make me feel slow. Your suppose to support the families during grief. As a nurse, very disappointed on how he communicate with males vs females. I understand hes older, but still respect the families you serve and just be helping hand vs talking down to people!”
