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.

“Mike was great to work with from the very first phone call getting things or order for when the unfortunate day would come for my mother. Not only could you sense the care in each phone call or personal interaction he and his staff where very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. One of his staff members even picked up our catering order the morning of my mother’s funeral taking that burden off of our shoulders. He was always willing answer any phone calls helping myself or my father on next steps to do and really made a hard time for our family seem like such a breeze. I would never hesitate to call Mike at O’Halloran Funeral home again in the future. Thanks Mike and staff!!”

“They charged a lot of money for very poor service. We did not get the right flowers ordered. They told us not to bring music as they would have it, but there was no music for my father’s visitation. We wanted Irish music. We asked about technology to play videos and they said they had it, but they didn’t. So no videos could be played. They told the family there would be snacks, but there wasn’t for the visitation. There was no one around to help us during the visitation. They were very happy to take our money, but no service at all. Very, very disappointing. I would never recommend this place!!”
