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.

“On behalf of the Jaramillo family, I appreciated the care and professionalism of Romero funeral home, and Dicky Romero in particular. Dicky did our family a favor, on my father’s request long before his passing to personally handle all the arrangements from the church service to the gravesite ceremony. He respectfully recalled my father’s siblings, and other family members by name. He called me personally to go over details of the service to ensure that our most difficult day would be made less stressful. Many attendees mentioned how memorable the services were. Thank you Romero funeral home and Dicky Romero. Annalee Jaramillo-Kuidis ~”
