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.

“I have read the reviews and saw a mix of good and bad reviews. I decided to give them a chance. The facility is very clean and old fashioned in a good way. For atmosphere I give 3.5 stars. For customer service I would have to give them 1 star. I did talk to Sue and she was very kind over the phone but in person she was a bit obnoxious and rude. I think because shes been in the business for so long she lost her touch with people. I eneded up going else where to bury my father. Hopefully my review helps the owners and take a different approach on how to become more compassionate for people going through probably the worst time of their lives.”
— Gabriel Cohen
“Would NOT recommend coming here. Sue is very inconsiderate and rude. She made cremating my son a nightmare. Also spelled the last name on my sons ashes wrong. I wish I went somewhere else.”
— Maddy
“If you're mourning the loss of a loved one please go somewhere else. Sue is not a nice woman. Would give zero stars if I could.”
