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.

“This was the absolute worst experience. There is no way I would ever recommend using this funeral home. The only good thing I can say about them is that my mom looked BEAUTIFUL. However, when it came time for her last ride, we were told, AS WE WERE SITTING IN LINE ABOUT TO PULL OUT, that there would be no escort and no one to stop traffic as we exited the parking lot. That information should have been given WHEN PLANNING. I did not even get to follow the Hurst my Mom took her last ride alone. My uncle(her brother) had to get out and stop traffic so everyone could exit the parking lot. So unprofessional. There was no apology given only excuses.”
— Amy Stevens
“They treat you like family. Wonderful people very professional . I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.”
— April Anderson
“My dad was there and they are really nice”
— Kristy Simpson
