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.

“When a death occurs, a funeral home takes on the task of preparing the body for burial. It's as simple as that, except in some cases the staff tends to help the family with details, services, and burial. I have only had to deal with 2 funeral homes, 1 when my dad passed. In that case my mom did the dealing, and her children simply held her hand. The second death was MOM, who's going to do that dealing? It fell to my brother and I, and we were scared, nervous, and clueless. Thankfully he and I convinced her to make pre-arrangements with Carolina Funeral Home a few years ago. That helped to lessen the edge we were feeling greatly. Then our Hospice Nurse came to us, called the funeral home, and from then on, Rick and his team with Carolina Funeral Home, took us by the hand, and never let go. He answered questions, suggested ideas for the service, and set up all the arrangements we needed. Rick is backed by a very professional team at Carolina. Mom was in excellent hands, and she was presented in a dignified manner, looking as lovely as ever. We can never thank Carolina Funeral Home for the kindness, respect, and guidance we received. Thank you all so very much. Barbara, daughter of Harriet Driggers”

“My husband passed away in 2017. I cannot remember if I posted a review our not so I figured better late than never. I cannot express how awesome the entire staff was during this difficult time. They showed my family and I so much respect and kindness. They also asked questions about things that we were to in shock to think of during this time. In all things I give them 5 stars. That type of respect is difficult to find these days. Thank you Carolina Funeral Home.”
