Questions to Ask When You Call
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.
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.

“Well before my wife passed away, we had decided we knew and trusted Birmingham Funeral Home. Birmingham Funeral Home offers anything and everything you would ever need. We turned Pam's death into a celebration around who she was to so many people in the community. Birmingham Funeral Home gave us the whole facility and we covered the walls and tables with everything imaginable from Pam's life. Argo did a great job leading the memorial event and we could not have imagined things going any better. Even with the immense sadness, Birmingham Funeral Home helped us make Pam's star shine bright.”
