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.

“I cannot say enough about this company—they helped me and my family tremendously during an incredibly difficult time. When my beloved grandmother passed away this past October, we were faced with the challenge of updating a headstone already in place from my grandfather’s passing in 2013. At the time of his death, my grandmother had preemptively purchased the stone and had laser etching completed with the understanding that her information could be easily added later. Unfortunately, we learned that this was not the case, and I struggled to find anyone who could help us with the necessary updates. After calling several places with no success, I was fortunate to receive Tri-County Memorials' contact information. That’s when I met Phil, who was a true source of comfort during a time of grief. He personally went to inspect the grave the very same day I spoke with him. Phil and his team removed the stone, added my grandmother’s dates with expert care, and reinstalled it—all before Mother's Day. The final result was absolutely beautiful. Thanks to Phil and his colleagues, my grandparents can now rest together peacefully. We are forever grateful for their compassion, professionalism, and quick turnaround. Thank you, Tri-County Memorials, from the bottom of our hearts.”

“I have to first start by giving a huge thank you to Lisa. Going through such a difficult process is hard enough but she was so kind, helpful, and generous with her sincerity of my emotions. Without a doubt Lisa and Phil made this entire process so much easier for me to deal with. The stone came in a little sooner than expected which was very comforting for myself and my family, and the stone itself is exactly what we wanted. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you again for all of the effort made towards having the stone that my mom would have loved. XOXO”
