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.

“Today my grandfather’s services were held and to say I’m disappointed in how his honor was treated is an understatement. No cards printed and we were told to start the service ourselves. The director never said a prayer or even acknowledged any of us attending the service. Truthfully I’d give zero stars if it was an option. I will never have someone’s funeral here again even if it was my last choice.”

“I wouldn't bring my pet to this place terrible it took them so long to get my cousin cremated and they kept her in a basement not even refrigerated before they did anything to her and we're still waiting for her services I do not recommend this place”
