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.
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.

“Thank you Demoss Durden Funeral Home for the professionalism of the funeral arrangements of our beloved mother. Especially Ryan Fiero, he kept us informed of what mom had bought back in 2001 in preparation for her service. Then took care of preparation for the church. What he didn't know he knew who to ask, thank you Drew. The family felt very comfortable and comforted by the professionalism. Thank you all once again. The Dean Family.”
