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 have been here several times over the years due to losses of friends and family members. Unfortunately my own mother passed away a few weeks ago. For what is guaranteed to be a painful process, the professionals at Urquhart-Murphy make it as painless as you can imagine. Mr. Murphy is a very kind man. But the person I need to give a huge thank you to is funeral director John Weeden. John was available for us via phone call any time we had questions, was extremely understanding and thorough with us through the entire process, and he helped us create a beautiful Celebration of Life. We could not have accomplished this without John! I cannot thank him enough.”
