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.

“Best decision I made was choosing Woodard Funeral Services for the cremation of my husband. They were the only ones I came across that didn’t try to upsale me and listened to what I wanted. The compassion and sincerity from the family that owns and runs it surpassed anything I could ask for. We are so grateful for Mr Terry and his daughter”

“My dad just died on the 28th. This place is ok, they got our funeral plans together. The prices are a bit steep. But dad's life insurance paid for his funeral. It was almost $8,000 in all.”
