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.

“Worst and most painful experience! Majestic Mortuary was my family's preferred Mortuary for years. We appreciated this family owned and operated business that always delivered superior services. Every member of my family was funeralized there since 1970. In 2019, Ms. Naomi provided stellar support for my grandmother's funeral, but the most recent experience was a nightmare. Obviously, Majestic's ownership changed hands and staffing. Ms. Carla, gave us the run around, had me drive 4 hours and didn't show up for her appointment. She is not savvy in administration, her practices and methods are archaic and she interacts with everyone as if they are fraudsters. She literally refused to submit the policy paperwork accurately using an exaggerated premise the insurance company don't like this and that. She tried to shift her failures on the cemetery staff who rose above and beyond to serve us. Her incompetence and mean-spirited demeanor imposed unnecessary expenses and hardships on our family. The building itself is falling apart, floor is covered with card board, holes everywhere, power went out during a service, and the overflow seating area happens to be cheap folding chairs staged next to display caskets in another parlor across the isle...imagine! Do not go there, it took 3 weeks to get my mom's funeral organized, and to no fault of ours. Our policy, cash flow and logistics were all in tact. Ms. Carla is heartless and serving in the wrong business spectrum. Never again, this is not the type of experience any family should face during bereavement. Stay away!”

“I originally choice Majestic Mortuary because a family member worked there but, after my experience, I would choose them for their professionalism, good communication, concern and respect for the deceased as well as their family. Their referrals for flower and keepsakes did and outstanding job and I was well pleased. Mrs. Carla and Mr. David were extremely professional, made me feel comfortable and assisted in making the best choices for my loved one's farwell. Thank you for making this process effortless and being a support during a vulnerable time. I was very satisfied with the results of the day and thankful to have a team working with me to make my loved one's final day beautiful and respectful. I would recommended Majestic Mortuary to my family and friends because in difficult times you need reliable caring support. Thank You and God Bless!”

“They handled my cousin Sir Knight Paul Condoll ,Knights of Peter Clavier. Also, friends and teachers of the Sisters of the Holy Family. They have been very professional when I have attended the Funeral Masses. Great job ... Back in the pass you also handled the remains of my Aunt Dorothy Henderson, you took the time to handle her funeral outside of the City of New Orleans.”
