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 just can’t thank the staff enough, Especially Jim Sawyer for taking care of my husband. My husband had a long rough death, when he was in the hospital he was so thin and looked awful. And Jim and his Staff went the extra mile to make him look as handsome as he used to be before he got sick. They took extra special care with every little detail. He was so handsome and I’m not just saying this. And he really looked very bad when he passed. But when they finished he looked so handsome and healthy that it mad me feel so much better. Because he looked at peace. These people really do care and they do qualify work, I should know my husband was in the funeral business for years. They treated him with dignity and respect. So again thank you so much for EVERYTHING!!❤️ Peggy”
