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 is the best and most caring and compassionate funeral home I have experienced. We recently buried our beloved uncle here this past Thursday and the staff were so kind, compassionate, welcoming, and warm to our family and friends. In my experience most funeral homes make you feel like you are burden by rushing the services and having no empathy towards your time of grief and loss just want your money. Leanne and her staff were excellent towards us and also affordable and convenient. I give this funeral 5 stars in my book because they were so caring, patient, and compassionate just what we needed and also my Uncle looked like he was sleeping they did an excellent on job on him and his home going service. Please give them a try if you are ever in need because they have wonderful services, great staff and affordable services.”
