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.

“The Hursts have taken care of my great grandparents, my grandparents, my mother and father, my stepfather and extended family. You will be treated with the upmost respect and they are transparent with pricing. They treat everyone as if your loss is also theirs and they go out of their way to comfort and assure your family. You couldn’t ask for better service in your time of need. They offer transparency, honesty, humility, empathy, and compassion. You will never regret entrusting your loved ones in their care - they will provide all of the services for your loved one and they’ll help your family, too, as you work through the process and provide you with resources as you grieve. This is where you should go when you lose a loved one - they do all of the work for you and they’ll help you through every stage of planning and they still are there for you after the fact. Choose the Hursts for your needs. They will take so much weight off of your shoulders as you are mourning.”
