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 you are dealing with a death, the best support from a funeral home you can receive is respect. dignity, and honesty. Kenneth Villazenor provides neither nor does his "staff"; a woman behind a pane of glass, probably getting paid minimum wage, who is also just as incompetent enough to pick up the phone and read through a sheet of call-center-support-responses to leave you hanging on, will have you gagging at her responses. Kenneth…gladly taking your coins. Go. Somewhere. Else. Based on other reviews, we should commemorate our loss, and we'd all be better at it”
— Ike Sunday
“The most unprofessional funeral business I've ever had to deal with. The woman calling herself an office manager was not only rude and obnoxious but also hung up the telephone on me three times. What a disgraceful way to treat people dealing with the loss and care of a loved one's last wishes!”
— Jasmin Reza
“Absolutely THE WORST SERVICE, no compassion, no remorse for any and ALL grieving at our service for my beloved Father n Law. If you do not want to be there, don't WORK THERE. For the amount of money paid, this made the whole grieving process much MUCH worse. If you want to enjoy your last day with your loved one, please do NOT come here.”
— Ronica Rodriver
We file the life insurance claim and recover unclaimed property — the payout can help cover costs like these. $0 upfront.
