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.

“We met with Wharton funeral home because they are contracted with the medical examiner’s office who conducted my uncle’s autopsy. We ended up going with someone else who was more convenient to what we needed, but I would 100% recommend Brad and everyone at Wharton funeral home. they answered all of our questions And were extremely kind and respectful even after they knew we were not going to be using them. We felt as though they truly cared for our family during this hard time.”
