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
“My father recently passed away unexpectedly at home. The police pressured my mom into naming a funeral home right after death even though we had no arrangements. We assumed the body was held at the medical examiners until she signed a release, as we have had other members pass in other counties and thought this was the process. We tried reaching out to the medical examiners office to locate my father after the removal. Went to the medical examiners in person and called 01/14/26. The medical examiners never gave us an answer instead a random funeral home, Arsulowicz mortuary owner James, called and refused to transfer him and we would have to pay a removal free. This home never called us to make arrangements and we never agreed for them to take our relative. There should be protections to not allow the transfer of the deceased without legal written consent. We asked for them to take away the fee and they won't. We even went to the police station to try and clear things up. They stated the home won't have a fee and they are still trying to charge us.”
