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.

“Foss Funeral Home and staff are a very professional and respectable establishment with compassion and patience. Jerry Foss helped me and my family with my mothers passing. He guided us through the ENTIRE process of loss, mourning and most important…celebrating the life of my mother with the upmost dignity and respect as she deserved. The families and community are blessed to have such a devoted team to help in their dark time. I would strongly recommend the services that are provided at the Foss Funeral Home and Cremation Center.”

“They will publish the website of your deceased family member without listening the facts of the natural mother for accurate information. My son was killed, he lived with me, his natural mother, until the 11th grade then he decided to move a few hours away to his Dads to play on a certain baseball team. I was in total shock after my sons death and as the mother I was unable to help plan my own sons funeral without falling apart, I was told by the step mother that she could tell I was in total shock and emotionally upset, she told me to go back home that herself, my sons natural Dad and siblings would handle the funeral plans, when I came to view my son which was very hard day still being in shock, the stepmother did the program leaving me, the natural mother who raised him, totally out of the program and even put in it she raised him for 19 years, she went as far as to cut my picture out of family photo on the program. The funeral director lived in the same small town where the step mother grew up and knew that she did not raise him, I asked him to change the program because there was a lie in it, he did not change it so I had to sit at my own sons funeral while they said the step mother raised him leaving me and my family that my son loved so much totally out of the funeral. No one could understand how someone could be so vindictive to a mother that just lost her son, She enjoyed adding pain to the pain after losing my son. The director would not listen to me a single time when I told him to please change it to the truth. I pray that no other mother has to go through what I had to go through.”
