Questions to Ask When You Call
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.
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 paid them 14,000 dollars cash for my son's service. They are most inefficient funeral home I have been in. They did not know how to write an obituary. They told us lies. They said we could see our son after they dressed him . They would not. They told us we had to pay for obit to be in newspaper. So we did not pay. But every body read it in paper and offer condolences. So we did not get a paper thinking , it would not be in it. To receive so much money. You think they be kind. No they where rude. I could go on .”
