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.

“Everyone at Badger took such great care of my family during a very tough time. Their compassion was something we all remarked on and will stay with all of us.”
— Zoe Perry
“My family and I would like to thank Glenn and all the staff for the outstanding care, and compassion you provided my father in-law, Irvin Sliger and our family during a very difficult time. There was not one detail missed, and so many thoughtful details and extras you added that made the service so personal and memorable for all of us. Having experienced firsthand the amazing service, personal touches, and compassion we received from everyone at Badger Funeral Home, I am thankful my father made the right choice in entrusting his loyal families and pre-arrangements with the Marchand Funeral Home to the Badger Funeral Home when they merged. We are forever grateful to all of you at Badger Funeral Home! Thank you so very much!”
— Michelle Sliger
