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.

Funerals in this area run $3,244–$10,202. If your loved one had a life insurance policy, the benefit can cover these costs — and we'll file the claim and handle the carrier for you, even without the policy number. $0 upfront, and nothing if it doesn't pay out.
“About the lowest price I found, and while it wasn't "hand holding" through the whole process, it was polite and professional. They gave me all the information I needed and picked up and delivered everything on time and as promised. Sounds funny to say "I'd use them again", but I would definitely recommend them to friends if/when asked for a place to handle things. If you want the full-on Cadillac experience you're going to pay way more for it (and I'm not sure they'll do better - except maybe a fancy office?). Sad to see they got a one-star from someone trying to do pre-planning. That's not what they do here. They're just down to business and get things done for you!”
