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’ve had the pleasure of calling the Glicks family friends for a long time, but only recently had the unfortunate need to use them for business. Though it was a sad, difficult time, I was continually impressed with the professionalism and delicacy with which they carried out my Dad’s arrangements. From the planning before he passed, to picking up the floral arrangements after the service, we were so pleased with our decision to use Barkes, Weaver & Glick for our Dad. As a writer, I also very much appreciate how they help with the obituary - the last public tribute to most. When you read through obituaries, you can tell which are from Barkes, Weaver & Glick, and which are not. Thank you for your commitment to excellence and care.”

Nothing ever felt morbid or overwhelming—they handled everything with compassion and professionalism. I’m truly grateful for their support and highly recommend them.”
— Annie Kirby
