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.

“When our son passed, we decided to work with Radney even though we live in Auburn. We did this mainly to keep our family from having to drive further. However, we gained so much more from working with Brian and team. The experience started with Brian proactively calling us when he heard about our loss. He then took the initiative to reach out to the Florida funeral home to arrange a transfer of our son in very short order. Next was our planning appointment, which was able to be held within just a few hours notice. Brian did an excellent job stepping us through everything. I was particularly impressed that after pouring my heart out to share my thoughts for an obituary, Brian transformed those words into the most accurate and perfect obituary to honor my son's life. Lastly, I'm so grateful to the team for helping us to prepare and hold a service that was a perfect fit for our son even though it was far from traditional. We are forever grateful for all of this as well as the kindness and support not only along the way but after the service as well.”

“I highly recommend Radney's Funeral Home for their professional and compassionate care. Joseph made the cremation arrangements for my father seamless and stress-free during a difficult time. I’ve also been so touched by Elizabeth, who has continued to follow up with me to see how I’m doing. Even with a simple cremation and no service, they treated me with genuine kindness and dignity.”

“Brian and colleagues at Radney Funeral Home were absolutely great. Their caring, sympathetic, warm, and professional approach to helping us create a fitting service for our son was greatly appreciated. My wife and I would recommend them highly.”
