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.

“If you do not know that the main office is in Metamora don't expect the assistant the owner Rolfe to acknowledge this. She is good at being condescending and mean mouth to the deceased family members. Expects everyone to use a florists and you should be able to read her mind. She made the conversation sound like the owner approved of how she was talking tome ots been almost 3hrs since this horrible woman upset me. I just want to cry still. And to think this is a place that helps the grieving. Very unfriendly.”

“I've been to a few visitations here, and they helped with mom's passing around Labor Day 09. I had them arrange my funeral expenses for when I pass, and it was only $30 each month, after the initial sign-up, over three years. I'm grateful for this service.”
