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.

“My husband and I prepaid our services so our children wouldn't have to deal with that expense and John made it such a pleasant experience. He did not pressure us in any way, he was very patient with us and walked us through every step of the process. We both felt so relieved and felt very confident it would be all be taken care of.”
— Carol Brison
“Jr and his secretary at Garrett’s Funeral Home did an exceptional job helping me with all my father’s funeral arrangements. My questions were answered promptly and they were always very pleasant to speak with no matter what time of day or night. I highly recommend Jr and his staff to meet your needs in an emotional time. Highly recommend Pastor Bright to anyone needing an exceptional Pastor. Thank you again for helping me.”
