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.

“DO NOT USE GILMORE MORTUARY!!!! STAY AWAY!!! This is the most unprofessional, rude and nasty funeral home in Charlotte. They do not know how to talk to people, especially in the business they are in working with bereaved loved ones, they should learn to be respectful and professional at the very least. It’s sad that these businesses are ran by unprofessional people who don’t deserve our business. If you want a smooth and easy process to handle the burial of a loved one, DONT GO TO GILMORE FUNERAL HOME!!!!!”
