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.

“We use Mothe Funeral Home Marrero location for our needs. They are so very caring and attentive. Our last time we needed to use them was a slightly complicated situation. Kirk and the staff helped every step of the way. They explained things and helped make things so much easier. I would recommend 100%.”

“The process of planning my father’s funeral was easy with no pressure. I received many compliments about the services and mass. The vocalist Mothe provided was awesome! I was asked several times about how I found him and I had to say it was all the choice of the funeral home. Everything from planning to the final interment of my father was done very professional. Thank you Nicole and everyone else who helped with the service.”

“When my Sister passed away on Christmas Day, 2023, my mother and I worked with Boyd "Beau" Mothe, III, and the staff at the Marrero and Algiers locations. I valued the special care and attention from the entire staff regarding my Mom, and Beau's kindness was very much appreciated! Beau took a challenging time for my Mom and me and assisted us with genuine compassion, heartfelt guidance, and care.”
