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.

“Working with Williams-Thomas Funeral Homes for my mother’s service was a truly comforting experience. They guided us with care and compassion through every step — from choosing the casket, to the burial, to the celebration of life. We wanted a private burial, and they guided us with such care and respect to ensure it was exactly what we envisioned. Their attention to detail made everything go smoothly, and the setting was handled with such grace and class. From helping us through decisions to ensuring every moment felt personal and dignified, they made a difficult time easier. My mother would have been very pleased.”
