Questions to Ask When You Call
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.

“Our family used Spencer’s Funeral Home when my father passed away. Tom from Spencer’s was kind, caring and extremely patient. He took care of everything and had the answer to every question we had. With Tom’s professionalism and kind nature we were able to grieve our loss and not worry about the organizational details of wake and funeral services. I can not recommend Spencer’s enough when dealing with the loss of a loved one. Thank you Spencer’s Funeral Home.”
