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.

What Families Say
“This is an old place where my family is buried at! My father joined his mom and sister. The services was amazing. The cemetery is not! We can not put a bench because it’s to close to the street but yet I see others there. We can not leave anything on the grave only on the headstone. Flowers are tossed away fast and his dirt is sinking in. This is the only 2nd year he’s been buried. Grass hardly grows there and there is hardly any water hose to water it myself. I live in dallas and it makes me sad I can not make it look pretty. It looks dry and very sad. He’s where he wanted to be though. Would like to have trash cans around since there’s trash an tree limbs by my grandmas grave. Being by the street is not a good place to bury your loved one but it might be cheaper.”
